Lyrics: /English Translation:

Is cosúil gur mheath tú nó gur thréig tú an greann / You seem to be pining and forsaking the fun
Tá an sneachta go freasach fá bhéal na mbeann' /The snowdrifts are heavy by the fords in the burn
Do chúl buí daite is do bhéilín sámh /Your bright golden tresses and smile gentle and mild
Siúd chugaibh Mary Chinidh 's í 'ndiaidh an Éirne 'shnámh /I give you Mary Kinney who has swum the ocean wide

A mháithrín mhilis duirt Máire Bhán /"Darling mother," cries Máire Bhán
Fá bhruach an chladaigh 's fá bhéal na trá / From the banks of the ocean and down by the tide
Maighdean mhara mo mhaithrín ard /"Mermaid, my mother, my pride"
Siúd chugaibh Mary Chinidh 's í 'ndiaidh an Éirne 'shnámh /I give you Mary Kinney who has swum the ocean wide

Tá mise tuirseach agus beidh go lá / I'm tired and weary and will be 'til dawn
Mo Mháire bhroinngheal 's mo Phádraig bán /For my darling Mary and my Pádraid bán
Ar bharr na dtonna 's fá bhéal na trá / As I ride on the billows and drift with the tide
Siúd chugaibh Mary Chinidh 's í 'ndiaidh an Éirne 'shnámh /I give you Mary Kinney who has swum the ocean wide
