| I wish I was on yonder hill
| Desearía estar en esa colina
|
| 'Tis there I’d sit and cry my fill,
| Es allí donde me sentaría y lloraría hasta hartarme,
|
| And every tear would turn a mill,
| Y cada lágrima haría girar un molino,
|
| Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.
| Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.

| I’ll sell my rock, I’ll sell my reel,
| Vendo mi roca, vendo mi carrete,
|
| I’ll sell my only spinning wheel,
| Venderé mi única rueca,
|
| To buy my love a sword of steel
| Para comprar mi amor una espada de acero
|
| Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.

|
| I’ll dye my petticoats, I’ll dye them red,
| me teñiré las enaguas, me las teñiré de rojo,
|
| And 'round the world I’ll beg my bread,
| Y por todo el mundo mendigaré mi pan,
|
| Until my parents shall wish me dead,
| Hasta que mis padres me deseen muerto,
|
| Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.
| Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.

| I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,
| Deseo, deseo, deseo en vano,
|
| I wish I had my heart again,
| Ojalá volviera a tener mi corazón,
|
| And vainly think I’d not complain,
| y en vano pensar que no me quejaría,
|
| Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.
| Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.

|
| But now my love has gone to France,
| Pero ahora mi amor se ha ido a Francia,
|
| To try his fortune to advance;
| Para probar su fortuna para avanzar;
|
| If he e’er come back, 'tis but a chance,
| Si alguna vez regresa, es solo una oportunidad,
|
| Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.
| Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.

| Come, come, come, O love,
| Ven, ven, ven, oh amor,
|
| Quickly come to me, softly move;
