A bhuachaillín aoibhinn álainn ó
Ba leathan do chroí a's ba dheas do phóg,
Mo léan gan mise leat féin go deo
A's go dté tú , a mhuirnín, slán

curfa(chorus)-
Siúil, Siúil, Siúil, a ghrá
Níl leigheas le fáil ach leigheas an bháis
Ó d'fhag tú mé, is bocht mo chás,
A's go dté tú , a mhuirnín, slán

Is minic a bhréag tú mé ar do ghlúin,
Ag cur do scéil dom féin in iúl
Ach chaill mé thú 's tú mo rún,
A's go dté tú, a mhuirn ín, slán

Ach cuireadh ar Rí Séamas ruaig
A's d'imigh na géanna leis ar luas
A's d'imigh mo bhuachaill leo, monuar,
A's go dté tú , a mhuirnín, slán

O gentle beautiful youth,
Broad was your heart and sweet your kiss,
Alas that I am not with you forever,
And may you go, my love, safely.

Chorus: walk, walk, walk, oh love'
There's no cure to be had but the cure of death,
Since you left me, wretched is my plight,
And may you go, my love, safely.

Often you beguiled me on your knee
Telling me of your life (literally: story)
But I lost you and you are my love,
And may you go, my love, safely.

But King James was routed,
And the geese* went with him at speed,
And my lad went with them, alas,
And may you go, my love, safely.

This version is from Risteard MacGabhann of Derry, though I don't know if he's the author of the translation and note or if they come from a book. Some of what I gave before are acceptible alternatives, but there's also a bit of error, so use this version.

Sorry the midi does not work ?? but I think this is not the song
