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 dtí tú mo mhuirnín slán [Chorus] Siúil, siúil, siúil a rúin Siúil go socair agus siúil go ciúin Siúil go doras agus ealaigh liom Is go dtéann tú mo mhuirnín slán I'll sell my rock, I'll sell my reel I'll sell my only spinning wheel To buy my love a sword of steel Is go dtéann tú mo mhuirnín slán I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red And round the port I'll beg my bread Until my parents shall wish me dead Is go dtí tú mo mhuirnín slán I wish, I wish, I wish in vain I wish I had my heart again And vainly think I'd not complain Is go dtéann tú mo mhuirnín slán And now my love has gone to France To try his fortune to advance If he e'er comes back 'tis but a chance Is go dtéann tú mo mhuirnín slán [translation of the Irish chorus] Go, go, go my love Go quietly and peacefully Go to the door and flee with me And may you go safely my dear.
