Lyrics
An cailín deas óg a bhfuil mé ar a tóir
Mo chreach mhaidne brón ní castar liom í
Tráth théim go tigh an óil, chuig damhsa, nó spórt
Ach leanfad sa ród í ar uair an mheán oích'
Mar is tusa an fear óg a shiúlfas go leor
Faigh domhsa seod a bheas agam mar mhnaoi
Ná santaigh go deo maoin chaorach nó bó
Ach inseoidh mé an nós duit ina dtógfaidh tú í
Bíodh sí lách óg gan mhairg gan ghruaim
Stuama go leor ar gach uile sheort ní
Tuicsneach ró-dheas gan an iomarca bróid
Siúd í mo stóirín da mbéadh sí gan pingin
Bíodh sí gan smál i gclú is i gcáil
Glan ina croí agus séimh ina méin
Gan gangaid nó gráin i mbriathra a béil
Is aoibh ar a h-éadan ó mhaidin go h-oích'
Ach inseoidh mé an nós duit ina dtógfaidh tú í
Lyrics translation
The nice young girl which I have on a popular
My ruin mhaidne regret not he meets I s
When I go to the house of the drinking, to dancing, or sport
But leanfad in the roadway is one of the middle card combinations
As you are the young man who shiúlfas many
Get honor this is to be my wife
Than santaigh forever the property of sheep or cow
But I will tell like you where you take it
Whether she jolly young indifferently without gloom
Prudent enough all sheort not
Tuicsneach too south without too much pride
Those are my sweetheart da be she without a penny
Whether she is immaculate in reputation is as
Clean in heart and mild in his mood
Without gangaid or grain in the verbs to mouth
The smiled on her face from morning to h-card combinations
But I will tell like you where you take it
