Orla Fallon - Siúil A Rún lyrics

rate me

I wish I was on yonder hill

'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill

Till every tear would turn a mill

I'll sell my rock, 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 siuil go ciúin

Siúil go doras agus ealeaigh liom

Is go dte tú mo mhuirnin slan

I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red

And 'round the world I'll beg my bread

Until my parents shall wish me dead

(repeat chorus)

I wish, I wish, I wish in vain

I wish I had my heart again

And then ye think I'd not complain

(repeat chorus 2x)
