Lyrics
Tá taistealaí breá in sa tír
'S tá se scríofa ar a bord
Chuir me litir in sa phost
Agus gealltanas a post'
Curfá:
'S tú mo choill, choill, choill
'S tú mo choill gaineach ban
'S tú mo ghiolla dubh ar luaimh
Os ar ucht tú 'bheith slan
Tiocfaidh’n long in sa chuan
'S cuirfidh sí suas na driúrlann
Nuair a shilfeas a' fíon
Beidh an long ar a' trádh
Curfá
Ó, níl agam ar a' t-saol
Ach an aon fear amháin
A chuir Aoife faoi shiúil
'S ar bord an «Man-of-War»
Curfá
Nuair a théimse faoi shiúil
'S d’fhág mo rún leabaí fáin
Nuair a chuala mé mo rún
A bheith ar chúl na dtonn tréann
Curfá:
Lyrics translation
There is a traveler's love in in the country
'S have se written on a board
Sent me a letter in the mail
And promise to post'
Chorus:
'S you my woods, woods, woods
'S you my woods gaineach women
'S to you my servant black on yachts
Os on for you 'be slan
Tiocfaidh'n long in sa chuan
'S will she up the driúrlann
When shilfeas to' wine
Will the ship' trádh
Chorus
Oh, no I' t-life
But no one man
Put Annie under walked
'S on board the "Man-of-War»
Chorus
When théimse about walked
'S left my secret leabaí stray
When I heard my secret
To be on the back of the waves tréann
Chorus:
