Lyrics:

A Dhónaill óig, má théir thar farraige
beir mé féin leat, is ná déan do dhearmad;
beidh agat féirin lá aonaigh is margaidh,
is iníon rí Gréige mar chéile leapa agat.

Is déanach aréir á labhair and gadhar ort,
do labhair an naoscach sa chorraichín doimhim ort
is tú id chaonaí aonair ar fud na gcoillte -
is go rabhair gan chéile go bráth go bhfaighir mé.

O are you going across the water
Take me with you to be your partner
At fair or market you'll be well looked after
And you will sleep with the Greek king's daughter

O Dónal Óg you'll not find me lazy
Not like some high-born expensive lady
I'll do your milking and I'll nurse your baby
And if you are set upon I'll defend you bravely

For you took what's before me and what's behind me
You took East and West when you wouldn't mind me
Sun moon and stars from the sky you've taken
And God as well if I'm not mistaken

Tá mo chroíse brúite briste
mar bheadh leac-oighre ar uachtar uisce
nó criotal cnó taréis a bhriste nó maighdean óg taréis a titim.
