Lyrics
One morning in June
Agus mé ag dul ag spaisteoireacht
Casadh liom cailín is ba ró-dheas a gnaoi
She was so handsome do thit mé i ngrá léi
Is d’fhág sí an arraing trí cheartlár mo chroí
I asked her her name nó cad é an ruag bheannaithe
A chas ins an áit thú, a ghrá gheal mo chroí?
My heart it will break if you don’t come along with me
Slán agus beannacht le buaireamh an tsaoil
Maise cailín beag óg mé ó cheantar na farraige
Tógadh go cneasta mé i dtosach mo shaoil
I being so airy ós é siúd ba chleachtach liom
Which made my own parents and me disagree
Maise, a chuisle 's a stór, ach an éistfeá liom tamall
I’ll tell you a story a b’ait le do chroí
That I’m a young man that is deeply in love with you
Surely my heart is from roguery free?
There’s an alehouse nearby agus beimid go maidin ann
If you are satisfied, 'ghrá gheal mo chroí
Early next morning we’ll send for the clergyman
Agus beimidne ceangailte í nganfhios don tsaol
Beimid ag ól fad a mhairfeas an t-airgead
Then we will take the road home with all spee
When the reckoning is due, boys, who cares for the landlady?
Slán agus beannacht le buareamh an tsaoil
Lyrics translation
One morning in June
And I'm going for a stroll
Turns me girl is it too south to love
She was so handsome for I fell in love with her
As she left the sends through cheartlár my heart
I asked her her name or what is the ruag blessed
Turned in the place where you are, who love bright my heart?
My heart it will break if you don’t come along with me
Farewell and goodbye to the troubles of the world
Mass girl little young I'm from the area of the sea
Built that honestly I at the beginning of my life
In being so airy as those who would be practising I
Which made my own parents and me disagree
Mass, to pulse 's dear, but the éistfeá me some time
I'll tell you story a b'ait with your heart
That I’m a young man that is deeply in love with you
Surely my heart is from roguery free?
There's an alehouse nearby, and we will be in the morning there
If you are satisfied, 'love bright my heart
Early next morning we'll send for the blair
And beimidne attached is undeclared for life
We will drink all mhairfeas the money
Then we will take the road home with all spee
When the reckoning is due, boys, who cares for the landlady?
Goodbye and blessings with buareamh all
