Siúil, A Run [English translation]

Walk, walk, walk, O love,

Walk quickly to me, softly move;

Walk to the door, and away we'll flee.

[Chorus:]

Walk, walk, walk, O love,

Walk quickly to me, softly move;

Walk to the door, and away we'll flee,

And safe may my darling be.

I wish I was on yonder hill

'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill

'Til every tear would turn a mill

I'll sell my rod, I'll sell my reel

I'll sell my only spinning wheel

To buy my love a sword of steel.

[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

[Chorus:]

Walk, walk, walk, O love,

Walk quickly to me, softly move;

Walk to the door, and away we'll flee.

[Chorus:]
