[Translation:]
|
|
I am a boy from Ireland and I'd coax a nice young girl,
|
I wouldn't ask for a dowry with her, I'm rich enough myself,
|
I own Cork, big as it is both sides of the glen and Tyrone,
|
And if I don't change my ways I'll be the heir for County Mayo.
|
|
Cow herding, my Leo, I did not never practice,
|
But playing and drinking with new young women by the mountain.
|
If I lost my wealth and I don't think I lost my sense,
|
And your kiss is no more to me than a show worn for a year.
|
|
My love and treasure, don't marry the old grey man,
|
But marry a young man, my Leo, even though he lives but a year,
|
Or you'll still be without a daughter or son above you,
|
Crying in the afternoon or in the morning hard.
