Siúl a rún - Mary Black

I would I were on yonder hill

It’s there I’d sit and cry my fill

And every tear would turn the mill

Is go dté tú mo mhúirnin slán

Siúl siúl siúl a rún

Siúl go socair 'is siúl go ciúin

Siúl go doras agus éalaigh liom

Is go dté tú mo mhúirnin slán

I’ll sell my rock I’ll sell my reel

I’ll sell my only spinning wheel

For to buy my love a coat of steel

Is go dté tú mo mhúirnin slán

I’ll dye my petticoats I’ll dye them red

And round the world I’ll beg for bread

Until my parents would wish me dead

Is go dté tú mo mhúirnin slán

And now my love has gone to France

To try his fortune to advance

If he ne’er came back there’ll be but a chance

Is go dté tú mo mhúirnin slán

I would I were on yonder hill

It’s there I’d sit and cry my fill

And every tear would turn the mill

Goodbye, my dear

Walk walk walk secret

Walk quietly 'and walk quietly

Walk to a door and escape with me

Goodbye, my dear

I’ll sell my rock I’ll sell my reel

I’ll sell my only spinning wheel

For to buy my love a coat of steel

Goodbye, my dear

I’ll dye my petticoats I’ll dye them red

And round the world I’ll beg for bread

Until my parents would wish me dead

Goodbye, my dear

And now my love has gone to France

To try his fortune to advance

If he ne’er came back there’ll be but a chance

Goodbye, my dear
