Lyrics
Siúil a Rúin (Trad.) [Full Track], Contemporary Folk
[verse]
I wish I was on yonder hill
'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill
Until every tear would turn a mill
Iss guh dtay tu, muh vwur-neen slawn
[chorus]
Shewil, Shewil, Shewil a roon
Shewil guh suh-cur, og-us shewil guh kjewn
Shewil guh dur-us, og-us ayl-ig lum
Iss guh dtay tu, muh vwur-neen slawn
[verse]
I'll sell my rock, I'll sell my reel,
I'll sell my only spinning wheel,
To buy my love a sword of steel,
Iss guh dtay too, muh vwur-neen slawn
[chorus]
Shewil, Shewil, Shewil a roon
Shewil guh suh-cur, og-us shewil guh kjewn
Shewil guh dur-us, og-us ayl-ig lum
Iss guh dtay tu, muh vwur-neen slawn
[verse]
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,
I wish I had my heart again,
And vainly think I'd not complain,
Iss guh dtay too, muh vwur-neen slawn
[chorus]
Shewil, Shewil, Shewil a roon
Shewil guh suh-cur, og-us shewil guh kjewn
Shewil guh dur-us, og-us ayl-ig lum
Iss guh dtay too, muh vwur-neen slawn
[instrumental]
[verse]
But now my love has gone to France
To try his fortune to advance
If he e'er comes back, 'tis but a chance
Iss guh dtay too, muh vwur-neen slawn
[chorus]
Shewil, Shewil, Shewil a roon
Shewil guh suh-cur, og-us shewil guh kjewn
Shewil guh dur-us, og-us ayl-ig lum
Iss guh dtay too, muh vwur-neen slawn
[outro]
Shewil, Shewil, Shewil a roon
Shewil guh suh-cur, og-us shewil guh kjewn
Shewil guh dur-us, og-us ayl-ig lum
Iss guh dtay too, muh vwur-neen slawn
I wish I was on yonder hill
'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill
Until every tear would turn a mill
Iss guh dtay tu, muh vwur-neen slawn
[chorus]
Shewil, Shewil, Shewil a roon
Shewil guh suh-cur, og-us shewil guh kjewn
Shewil guh dur-us, og-us ayl-ig lum
Iss guh dtay tu, muh vwur-neen slawn
