I wish I was on yonder hill
'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill
And every tear would turn a mill
Is go dtí tú mo mhuirnín slán
[Chorus]
Shule, shule, shule a roon
Shule go sookar agus shule go kewn
Shule go doras agus ay lee lom
Is guh jay thu mah vorn neen slawn
I'll sell my rod, I'll sell my reel
I'll sell my only spinning wheel
To buy my love a coat of steel
Is guh jay thu mah vorn neen slawn
I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red
And round the port I'll beg my bread
Until my parents shall wish me dead
Is guh jay thu mah vorn neen slawn
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain
I wish I had my heart again
And vainly think I'd not complain
Is guh jay thu mah vorn neen slawn
And now my love has gone to France
To try his fortune to advance
If he e'er comes back 'tis but a chance
Is guh jay thu mah vorn neen slawn
[translation of the Irish chorus]
Go, go, go my love
Go quietly and peacefully
Go to the door and flee with me
And may you go safely my dear.
