Lyrics
I wish I was on yonder hill
'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill
Until every tear would turn a mill
Is go dtรฉ tรบ mo mhรบirnรญn slรกn
(After each verse):
Siรบil, siรบil, siรบil a rรบn
Siรบil go sochair agus siรบil go ciรบin
Siรบil go doras agus รฉalaigh liom
Is go dtรฉ tรบ mo mhรบirnรญn slรกn
I'll sell my rock, I'll sell my reel
I'll sell my only spinning wheel
To buy my love a sword of steel
Is go dtรฉ tรบ mo mhรบirnรญn slรกn
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 dtรฉ tรบ mo mhรบirnรญn slรกn
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain
I wish I had my heart again
And vainly think I'd not complain
Is go dtรฉ tรบ mo mhรบirnรญn slรกn
But now my love has gone to France
To try his fortune to advance
If he e'er comes back, 'tis but a chance
Is go dtรฉ tรบ mo mhรบirnรญn slรกn
(Translation from Gaeilge/Irish)
Go, go, go, my love
Go quietly and go peacefully
Go to the door and fly with me
And may you go safely, my darling
