I wish I were on yonder hill 'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill 'Til every tear would turn a mill Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán And may you go safely, my darling
Curfá: Chorus: Suil, suil, suil a ruin Go, go, go, my love Suil go sochair agus suil go ciúin Go quietly and go peacefully Suil go doras agus éalaigh liom Go to the door and fly with me Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán And may you go safely, my darling
I'll sell my rock, I'll sell my reel I'll sell my only spinning wheel And buy my love a sword of steel Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán And may you go safely, my darling
(Curfá) (Chorus)
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain I wish I had my heart again And vainly think I'd not complain Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán And may you go safely, my darling
