Óró mo bháidín ag snámh ar an gcuan Oro my little boat swimming in the bay
Óró mo churraichín ó Oro my little currach
Faighimis na maidi agus téimis chun siuil Let's fetch the oars and get going
Óró mo bháidín Oro my little boat
   
Curfá: Chorus (after each verse):
Óró mo churraichín ó, óró mo bháidín Oro my little currach, oro my little boat
Óró mo churraichín ó, óró mo bháidín Oro my little currach, oro my little boat
   
Crochfaidh mé seolta is gabhfaidh mé siar I will set the sails and head west
Óró mo churraichín ó Oro my little currach
Is go hOíche Fhéile Eoin ní thiocfaidh mé aniar And I won't come home 'til St. John's Feast Day
Óró mo bháidín Oro my little boat
   
Nach lúfar í ag iomramh soir agus siar How swift she is a-roving east and west
Óró mo churraichín ó Oro my little currach
A sárú ni bhfaighidh tú ó Árainn go Cliar You won't find a better boat from Aran to Clare
Óró mo bháidín Oro my little boat
