Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Orú Mháire Bhruinneal bláth na Finne Oh Maire Bruinneal, flower of the Finn
'Ndaidh mé do lean aint anair anall I followed you here and there
O ba bhinne liom do bhéal nó no cuacha seinm Your mouth was sweeter to me than the cuckoo's singing
'S tú dfhág mise i ndeallaraí 'bháis And it's you that has left me at death's door
   
A mhéid é mo thuirse níor lear domh a choinneal I am so grieved I couldn't keep her
Deir siad gur mise a mheallas na mná They said I was one who deceives women
   
Curfá: Chorus:
Mharaigh tú go deo mé, lagaigh tú go mór mé You have killed me forever, you have greatly weakened me
'Gus gach a bhfuil beo domh bhris tú mo chroí And all that's alive to me, you broke my heart
   
Bhí a trí-point óir leí síos go triogh Her golden trident with her down a foot
Agus í a gcarrnú ar gach taobh And __ on each side
   
(Curfá) (Chorus)
   
Bí mé lá go ceolmar in sa ród One day I was musically in the road
Tarlaigh domhsa 'n óig bhean chiúin I met the quiet young woman
   
(Curfá) (Chorus)
   
Orú Mháire Bhruinneal bláth na Finne Oh Maire Bruinneal, flower of the Finn
'Ndaidh mé do lean aint anair anall I followed you here and there
O ba bhinne liom do bhéal nó no cuacha seinm Your mouth was sweeter to me than the cuckoo's singing
'S tú dfhág mise i ndeallaraí 'bháis And it's you that has left me at death's door
