lyrics

Thíos ag cois na farraige bhí teach 'g mo mhuinntir féin
mo mhamaí 'gus mo dheaidí 'gus mo chairde 'lig 'en tsaol
Refrain:

Guígí ar bhú bpaidrín 'ach oích' ag gabháil 'na leapa daoibh
I ndúil go mbeinn sa bhaile 'gaibh in aimsir bhaint an fhéir

A chainlíní, nach trua libh mo scéal
Mise gabháil thar farraige 's gan cead a hilleadh 'e choích'

Guígí ar bhú bpaidrín 'ach oích' ag gabháil 'na leapa daoibh
I ndúil go mbeinn sa bhaile 'gaibh in aimsir bhaint an fhéir

Rachaidh mé go h-Albain 's ní phillfidh mé go h-éag
Tiocfaidh mé 'na bhaile agus beidh mé brúite tinn

Guígí ar bhú bpaidrín 'ach oích' ag gabháil 'na leapa daoibh
I ndúil go mbeinn sa bhaile 'gaibh in aimsir bhaint an fhéir


Translation:

Down by the sea was my people's house,
My Mommy and my Daddy and all of my friends.
All you girls, won't you take pity on my plight?
Me, going over the sea without permission ever to return.
I will go to Scotland, and I will never return,
And when i do come home again, i will be crushed with pain.
Refrain:
When you go to your bed every evening, say a prayer for me,
That I will be home in time for the cutting of the hay.
