Lyrics: English Translation: 1 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
Curfá: Suil, suil, suil a ruin Suil go sochair agus suil go ciúin Suil go doras agus éalaigh liom Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán 2 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
(Curfá) 3 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
