Seal dá rabhas i m' mhaighdean shéimh,
/Shal daw row-uss im vy-jen hayv/
Once I was a gentle maiden,
'S anois i m' bhaintreach chaite thréith,
/sa-nish im vyn-trukh khotcha hray/
but now I'm a spent, worn-out widow,
Mo chéile ag treabhadh na dtonn go tréan
/Muh khay-la egg trow-a na down guh train/
my spouse strongly ploughing the waves,
De bharr na gcnoc san imigéin
/Deh vawr nah gnuk san im-ee-gain/
over the hills and far away.

Curfá Chorus
’Sé mo laoch mo ghile mear,
/Shay muh laykh muh ghil-eh mar/
My gallant darling is my hero,
’Sé mo Chaesar, ghile mear,
/Shay muh Khay-sur, ghil-eh mar/
He's my Caesar, gallant darling,
Suan ná séan ní bhfuaireas féin,
/Soo-un naw shayn nee voo-russ hayn/
I found neither sleep nor happiness
Ó chuaigh i gcéin mo ghile mear.
/Oh hoo-ig e gain muh ghil-eh mar/
since my gallant darling went far away

Bímse buan ar buairt gach ló,
/Beem-sha boo-un ar boort gokh low/
Every day I'm constantly enduring grief,
Ag caoi go crua is ag tuar na ndeor
/Eh kuee guh kroo-a iss eh toor na no-or/
weeping bitterly and shedding tears,
Ó scaoileadh uaim an buachaill beo
/Oh squee-lug wem on boo-khel byo/
because my lively lad has gone away from me
Is ná ríomhtar tuairisc uaidh, mo bhrón.
/Iss naw reev-tur too-rishk weg, muh vrohn/
and no news is heard from him, alas.
