I wish I was on yonder hill
Tis there I d sit and cry my fill
And every tear would turn a mill
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan
Siuil, siuil, siuil a run,

Siuil go sochair agus siuil go ciuin.
Siuil go doras agus ealeaigh liom.

And round the world I ll beg my bread,
Until my parents shall wish me dead,
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn
Siuil, siuil, siuil a run,
