Suil A Ruin

I wish I were on yonder hill
‘Tis there I’d sit and cry my fill
‘Til every tear would turn a mill
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán And may you go safely, my darling

Curfá: Chorus:
Suil, suil, suil a ruin Go, go, go, my love
Suil go sochair agus suil go ciúin Go quietly and go peacefully
Suil go doras agus éalaigh liom Go to the door and fly with me
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán And may you go safely, my darling

I’ll sell my rock, I’ll sell my reel
I’ll sell my only spinning wheel
And buy my love a sword of steel
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán And may you go safely, my darling

(Curfá) (Chorus)

I wish, I wish, I wish in vain
I wish I had my heart again
And vainly think I’d not complain
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán And may you go safely, my darling

(Curfá 2x) (Chorus 2x)
