Chuaigh mé 'na Rosann ar cuairtI went on a visit to the roses Gur bhreathnaigh me uaim an speirAnd looked towards the sky Is thart fá na holeain ó thuaidhAnd around the northern islands Mar eiht agus cu 'na diaidhLike a deer being followed by a dog Se dearfadh gach duine fan chuanEveryone at the bay would say O tharla mé nuas fán cheidhOn seeing me down by the quay "Nach maith a aithnim ar do ghruaim"I can see clearly by your sadness Gur fear thú 'bhfuil an toir 'na dhiaidh"That you are a man being chased" Casadh dom an ainnir dheas ógI met a beautiful young woman Ach má casadh 'si a labhair go géarBut she spoke sharply "Más fear thú a bhaineas do mhnaio óig"If you are a man who is engaged to a young woman Cha mholaim ró-mhór do thradeI do not praise your trade Chonaic mé fear ar thir mórI saw a man on the mainland Is e ag siul gan bhróg innéWalking without shoes yesterday Is dóigh liom gur thusa an fear ógI think you are the young man Is go bhfuil ort an tóir 'do dhaigh"That you are being chased" Thit muid a dtuirse is i mbrónWe became tired and sad Is d'fhiafraigh mé den óigbhean chaoinAnd I asked the gentle woman "Cá bhfuigheas muid gloine le h-ól"Where will we get a drink A thógfadh an brón dar gcroi?"That would lift the sadness from our hearts?" "Ta teach beag ar leath-taobh an ród"There is a little house by the road Is coinnionn sé i gcónaí braonAnd they always keep a drop Gabh thusa, agus buail at an mbordGo and knock on the table Is ní dhíolfaidh do phócaí a'n phingin"And you will not pay a penny" Cha rabh mise i bhfad ag gabháil cheoilI wasn't long making music Gur chruinnigh go leor 'un toighBefore many came to the house Achan fhear is a ghloine ina dhomEveryman with a glass in his hand Le comhmóradh a thabhairt don disTo congratulate the couple Bhi biotáilte fairsing go leorSpirits were widely available Cha rabh beagán á ól sa tirThere was much drinking Is dá dtarraingeoinnse gálun Uí DhomhnaillAnd if I pulled O'Donnell's gallon B'fhurst' mo scor a dhrolMy score would easily be settled Tharla mé isteach i dtoigh-an-óilI happened to go into the pub Agus b'fhaiteach go lear mé le suíAnd I was nervous to sit down Ar eagla go dtiochfadh an tóirIn case the chase would come Is go mbainfi an óighean diomAnd the young woman would be taken from me Nuair a fuair muid gach ni mar ba chóirWhen we found everything was as it should be Agus mheas me gur chóir dom suiAnd I thought I should sit down Sé duirt si "Bi thusa ag gabháil cheoilShe said, "Make music Is ní dhíolfaidh do phócaí a'n phingin"And you will not pay a penny" Nuair a lig muid dúinn tuirse le brónWhen we relieved our tiredness with sadness Sé d'fhiafraigh an óigbhean diomThe young woman asked me "Cá mbionn tú 'do chónaí sa lá"Where do you live during the day Nuair nach gcoinnionn tú cró doit féin?"When you do not have a house of your own?" "Bimse seal 'dtoigh-an-óil"I spend some time in the pub Cha deanaimse lón den phinginI do not place importance on money An méid ud a shaothraim sa láThe amount I earn during the day A chaitheamh le spórt san oiche"I spend on enjoyment at night"
