Siúil A Rún Lyrics

I wish I were on yonder hill
'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill
And every tear would turn a mill
I'll sell my rod, I'll sell my reel
I'll sell my only spinning wheel
To buy my love a sword of steel

Chorus:
Siúil, siúil, siúil a rún
Siúil go sochair agus siúil go ciúin
Siúil go doras agus éalaigh liom
Is go dté tú, a mhúirnín, slán

I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red
And through the streets I'll for bread
Until my parents shall wish me dead
(Chorus)

I wish, I wish, I wish in vain
I wish I had my heart again
And vainly think I'd not complain
Siúil, siúil, siúil a rún
Siúil go sochair agus siúil go ciúin
Siúil go doras agus éalaigh liom

(Chorus)

Translation:
Go, go, go, my love
Go quietly and go peacefully
Go to the door and fly with me
And may you go safely, my darling
