Well, it didn't work. Here are the English words from that same thread. -- Áine

My match it was made here last night
To a girl I neither love nor like
But I'll take my own advice
And leave her behind
And go roaming the wild woods over.

I walked up and I walked down.
I walked to Cork, and Dublin and Belfast towns,
But no equal to my true love could I find,
She's the wee lass that's left my heart broken.

I got up two hours before day
And I got a letter from my true love.
I heard the blackbird and the linnet say
That my love had crossed the ocean.
