Lyric and Translation: br br Thíos ag cois na farraige bhí teach 'g mo mhuinntir féin br Mo mhamaí 'gus mo dheadí 'gus mo chairde 'lig 'en tsaol br br Down by the sea was my people's house br My Mommy and my Daddy and all of my friends br br Refrain: br Guigi ar bhúr bpaidrin 'ach oich' ag gabhail 'na leapa daoibh br I ndúil go mbeinn sa bhaile 'gaibh in aimsir bhaint an fhéir br br When you go to your bed every evening, say a prayer for me br That I will be home in time for the cutting of the hay br br A chailíní is a chailíní, 'nach trua libh mo scéal br Mise gabháil thar farraige 's gan cead a philleadh 'e choich' br br All you girls, won't you take pity on my plight br Me, going over the sea without permission ever to return br br Rachaidh mé go h-Albain 's ni phillfidh me go h-éag br Toicfaidgh mé 'na bhaile beidh mé bruite tinn.
