1. Ar m’éirí dom ar maidin, As I arose this morning.

Grian an tsamhraidh ag taitneamh, The summer sun was shining,

Chuala an uaill dá casadh, I heard a wail being let out,

Agus ceol binn na n-éan. And the sweet song of the birds.

Broic is míolta gearra, Badgers and small creatures,

Creabhair na ngoba fada, The long-beaked woodcock,

Fuaim ag an macalla, The noise of the echo,

Agus lámhach gunnaí tréan. And the shooting of heavy guns.

An sionnach rua ar an gcarraig, The red fox on the rock,

Míle liú ag marcaigh, A thousand mounted cries,

Is bean go dubhach san mbealach And a woman forlorn along the way

Ag áireamh a cuid gé. Counting her geese.

Ach anois tá an choill dá ghearradh, But now the wood is being cut down,

Triallfaimíd thar caladh, We’ll go across the ferry,

Is a Sheáin Ó Duibhir an Ghleanna, And, Seán Dwyer of the Glen,

Tá tú gan géim! You’ve lost your spirit.

2. Is é sin m’uaigneas fada, ‘Tis my long lonliness,

Scáth mo chluais dá ghearradh The tips of my ears, being bitten [by]

An ghaoth aduaidh ag leathadh, The perishing northern wind

Agus bás ins an aer. And death [is] in the air.

Mo ghadhairín suairc dá cheangal, My happy little dog is tied up,

Gan chead liú ná aistíocht. Not allowed to howl or have fun.

Do bhainfeadh gruaim den leanbh It would draw gloom from a baby

I méan ghil an lae. In the full light of day.

Is é rí na h-uaisle ar an gcarraig. He is the king of the nobles on the rock,

An céafrach buacach, beannach, Frisky, in fine fettle, angular,

Do thiocfadh suas ar aiteann, Who would come up on the furze

Go lá deireadh an tsaoil. Until the last day of (his) life.

Is dá bhfaghainnse suaimhneas tamall, And if I were to get a brief respite,

Ó dhaoine uaisle an bhaile, From the noble people of the town,

Do thriallfainn féin ar Ghaillimh, I would make my way to Galway,

Agus d’fhágfainn an scléip. And I’d leave the quarrels behind.
