B'áite liom féin 'bheith ar thaobh mhalaí shléibhe 'Gus cailín gaelach a bheith 'mo chomhair Bheinn a bréagadh 's a teannadh léithe 'Gus dar liom féin, 'riú, gur dheas ar ndóigh Ag éirí domh féin ar maidin an lae ghil 'S mé gabhail fá'n choill chraobhaigh 's mé seoladh bó Tharlaigh domh an spéirbhean 'na suí ar an léana 'S a fallaing léithe 's í lán de ghnó D'fhiafraigh mé díthe go ciúin is go ceillí An nglacfaidh tú póg uaim, a stór mo chroí? D'oscail sí a béilín 'gus labhair sí Bearla 'S é dúirt sí, "Pray sir, and let me be" Is maith an airí ar na buaibh a shantú 'Gus bheinnse 'a seoladh amuigh sa lá Im agus bainne iad, ar theacht a' tsamhraidh 'S mar gheall ar bhólacht a phóstar mná TRANSLATION I'd love to be on a sloping hillside With an Irish girl by my side I'd coax and tease her and draw her nearer No happier state can I visualize As I rode out when day was dawning To herd the kine by the leafy glade I espied a damsel on the pasture seated With hazel nuts in her mantle tied I gently spoke to this pretty maiden And would like to kiss her if she'd agree She answered softly and spoke in English And uttered, "Pray sir, and let me be" The herds deserve to be craved and cared for And I would herd them the live long day They give fresh milk and churning through the summer And for stocks of kine sure, young maidens wed
