1. Il
a bholagain il bhom’aghan (3x)
Mo
chrodh-laoigh air gach taobh an abhainn.
Rope
of silk for my own dear brown cow
Rope of hemp for the town’s black cattle
Cowherd Patrick and milkmaid Bride
God save you and shield you ever
O let
down your warm milk my brown one
For my love is a-waitin’ for me
O his song’s like the dove’s sweet cooing
God save him and shield him ever
Bó
lurach, bó na h-àiridh,
Bó a' bhathaich, màthair laogh,
Buachaille Pàdruig is banachag Brìde
D'ar
sìon, d'ar dìon, 's d'ar còmhnadh.

2. Ho
ee o vo, hee o vo
Shane my loved one is waiting for me
Ho ee o vo, hee o vo
Told me last night he did adore me
Ho ee o vo, hee o vo
When we’re finished I’ll go to him
Ho ee o vo, hee o vo
Let it down quickly or I’ll lose him
Ho ee o vo, hee o vo
Shane my loved one is fair and fine
Ho ee o vo, hee o vo
There’s
no happier maid than I
