Clannad Siúil A Rún (Irish Love Song)

I wish I was on yonder hill
’Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill
Until every tear would turn a mill
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn

CHORUS (in phonetic gaelic)
Come, come, come, o, love
Quickly come to me, softly move
Come to the door, and away we'll flee
And safe for aye may my darling be

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
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn

CHORUS

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
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn

CHORUS

I wish, I wish, I wish in vain
I wish I had my heart again
And vainly think I'd not complain
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn

CHORUS

But now my love has gone to France
To try his fortune to advance
If he e'er come back, 'tis but a chance
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn

CHORUS
