No/ beidh tu/ go fo/oill gan o/ no/ mac os da chionn,
A shilleadh an deor tra/thno/na no/ n maidin go trom.
English Translation
I am a boy from Ireland and I d coax a nice young girl,
I wouldn t ask for a dowry with her, I m rich enough myself,
I own Cork, big as it is both sides of the glen and Tyrone,
And if I don t change my ways I ll be the heir for County Mayo.
Cow herding, my Leo, I did not never practice,
But playing and drinking with new young women by the mountain.
If I lost my wealth and I don t think I lost my sense,
And your kiss is no more to me than a show worn for a year.
My love and treasure, don t marry the old grey man,
But marry a young man, my Leo, even though he lives but a year,
Or you ll still be without a daughter or son above you,
Crying in the afternoon or in the morning hard.
