B'áite liom féin 'bheith ar thaobh mhalaí shléibhe'Gus cailín gaelach a bheith 'mo chomhairBheinn 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 bóTharlaigh 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 ceillíAn 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 láIm agus bainne iad, ar theacht a' tsamhraidh'S mar gheall ar bhólacht a phóstar mnáTRANSLATIONI'd love to be on a sloping hillsideLetras de cancionesWith an Irish girl by my sideI'd coax and tease her and draw her nearerNo happier state can I visualize As I rode out when day was dawningTo herd the kine by the leafy gladeI espied a damsel on the pasture seatedWith hazel nuts in her mantle tied I gently spoke to this pretty maidenAnd would like to kiss her if she'd agreeShe answered softly and spoke in EnglishAnd uttered, "Pray sir, and let me be" The herds deserve to be craved and cared forAnd I would herd them the live long dayThey give fresh milk and churning through the summerAnd for stocks of kine sure, young maidens wed
