SIUIL A RUIN - Connie Dover

"I would I were on yonder hill
It's there I'd sit and cry my fill
And every tear would turn a mill
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan

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 dte tu mo mhuirnin slan

Refrain:
Siuil, siuil, siuil a ruin
Siuil go sochair agus siuil go ciuin
Siuil go doras agus ealaigh liom
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan

I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red
And it's round the world I'll beg for bread
Until my parents would wish me dead
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan

I wish, I wish, I wish in vain
I wish I had my heart again
And vainly think I'd not complain
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan

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 dte tu mo mhuirnin slan

Refrain

(Refrain translation)
Go, go, go love
Go smoothly and quietly
Go to the door and escape with me
And may you go safe, my darling"
