Airiú, agus  a leanbh ó!

Goidé a  dhéanfaidh me?

Tá tú ar shiúl uaim.

Agus airiú, agus anuraidh 

níl duine ar bith agam.

‘S airiú, agus me liom féin.

Dá mbeithea go mocha gam!

Agus och! Ochón airíu gan thú

Alas, my child!

What will I do?

You are gone from me.

And alas, since last year I’ve no one.

And alas, I’m all alone.

If you could be with me again soon!

Ach och!alas-without you!
