Curfá: Chorus (after each verse):
Pill, pill a rún ó Turn, turn, my dear
Pill a rún ó is ná himigh uaim Turn, my dear and don't go now
Pill orm a chuisle 's a stór Turn, my own heart's dear
Agus chífidh tú 'n ghlóir má fhilleann tú And you will see God's glory if you turn again
Shúil mise thall is abhus I have traveled far and wide
I Móta Ghráinn' Óige do rugadh mé Throughout Moate where I was born
'S ní fhaca aon iontas go fóill And I have never yet seen such a wonder
Mar an Sagart Ó Donaill 'na mhinistir As Father O'Donaill turned Minister
Dhiúltaigh tú Peadar is Pól You denied Peter and Paul
Mar gheall ar an ór 's ar an airgead Because of the gold and the silver
Dhiúltaigh tú Banríon na Glóire You denied the Queen of Glory
Agus d'iompaigh tú gcóta 'n mhinistir You turned your coat and became a minister
Pill, pill a rún ó Turn, turn, my dear
Pill a rún ó is ná himigh uaim Turn, my dear and don't go now
Pill orm a chuisle 's a stór Turn, my own heart's dear
Agus chífidh tú 'n ghlóir má fhilleann tú And you will see God's glory if you turn again
Shúil mise thall is abhus I have traveled far and wide
I Móta Ghráinn' Óige do rugadh mé Throughout Moate where I was born
'S ní fhaca aon iontas go fóill And I have never yet seen such a wonder
Mar an Sagart Ó Donaill 'na mhinistir As Father O'Donaill turned Minister
Dhiúltaigh tú Peadar is Pól You denied Peter and Paul
Mar gheall ar an ór 's ar an airgead Because of the gold and the silver
Dhiúltaigh tú Banríon na Glóire You denied the Queen of Glory
Agus d'iompaigh tú gcóta 'n mhinistir You turned your coat and became a minister
