Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Bímse féin ag iascaireacht I myself go fishing
Ag iascaireacht, ag iascaireacht Go fishing, go fishing
Bímse féin ag iascaireacht I myself go fishing
Ag iarriadh luach mo bhéile To try and earn my keep
   
Bímse féin a' radairacht I myself go courting
A' radairacht, a' radairacht Go courting, go courting
Bímse féin a' radairacht I myself go courting
Ag iarraidh bean a bhréagadh To lure a charming fair maid
   
An dtiocfá go dtí an sagart liom? Come along to the priest with me
An sagart liom, an sagart liom? To the priest with me, to the priest with me
An dtiocfá go dtí an sagart liom? Come along to the priest with me
'Séard dúirt sí liom, "How dare you" But she said to me, "How dare you"
   
Chuaigh sí go dtí an sagart liom She went along to the priest with me
An sagart liom, an sagart liom To the priest with me, to the priest with me
Chuaigh sí go dtí an sagart liom She went along to the priest with me
He tied us lena chéile He tied us together
   
Anois, ó tá muid ceangailte Now that we have tied the knot
Ceangailte, ceangailte Tied the knot, tied the knot
Anois, ó tá muid ceangailte Now that we have tied the knot
I have to rock the cradle I have to rock the cradle
   
Bímse féin ag iascaireacht I myself go fishing
Ag iascaireacht, ag iascaireacht Go fishing, go fishing
Bímse féin ag iascaireacht I myself go fishing
Ag iarriadh luach mo bhéile To try and earn my keep
