Shule Aroon lyrics

I would I were on yonder hill,

'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill,

And every tear would turn a mill.

Is go d-teidh tu, a mhurnin, slan !

Siubhail, siubhail, siubhail, a ruin !

Siubhail go socair, agus siubhail go ciuin,

Siubhail go d-ti an doras agus eulaigh liom,

Is go d-teidh tu, a mhurnin, slan !

I'll sell my rock, I'll sell my reel,

I'll sell my only spinning-wheel,

To buy for my love a sword of steel.

Is go d-teidh tu, a mhurnin, slan !

Siubhail, siubhail, siubhail, a ruin !

Siubhail go socair, agus siubhail go ciuin,

Siubhail go d-ti an doras agus eulaigh liom,

Is go d-teidh tu, a mhurnin, slan !

I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red,

And round the world I'll beg my bread,

Until my parents shall wish me dead.

Is go d-teidh tu, a mhurnin, slan !

Siubhail, siubhail, siubhail, a ruin !

Siubhail go socair, agus siubhail go ciuin,

Siubhail go d-ti an doras agus eulaigh liom,

Is go d-teidh tu, a mhurnin, slan !

I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,

I wish I had my heart again,

And vainly think I'd not complain.

Is go d-teidh tu, a mhurnin, slan !

Siubhail, siubhail, siubhail, a ruin !

Siubhail go socair, agus siubhail go ciuin,

Siubhail go d-ti an doras agus eulaigh liom,

Is go d-teidh tu, a mhurnin, slan !

But now my love has gone to France,

To try his fortune to advance ;

If he e'er come back, 'tis but a chance.

Is go d-teidh tu, a mhurnin, slan !

Siubhail, siubhail, siubhail, a ruin !

Siubhail go socair, agus siubhail go ciuin,

Siubhail go d-ti an doras agus eulaigh liom,

Is go d-teidh tu, a mhurnin, slan !
