| Ta me mo shui | English Translation: |
| Tá mé 'mo shuí | I have not slept |
| Ó d'éirigh an ghealach aréir | Since the moon lit the heavens last night |
| Ag cur teineadh síos gan scíth | Just setting the fire |
| 'S á fadú go géar | And stroking the ember to light |
| Tá bunadh a' tí 'na luí | The household's retired |
| 'S tá mise liom féin | And I am left here to sigh |
| Tá na coiligh ag glaoch | The roosters are crowing |
| 'S tá 'n saol ina gcodladh ach mé | All the world is asleep barring I |
| Sheacht mh'anam déag do bhéal | My soul is enthralled with your mouth |
| Do mhalaí 's do ghrua | Your face and your brow |
| Do shúil ghorm ghlé gheal | For your sparkling blue eyes |
| Fá'r thréig mé aiteas is suairc | I abandoned contentment and glee |
| Le cumhaidh i do dhiaidh ní léir dom | Due to longing for you |
| An bealach a shiúl | I'm unable to travel the way |
| Is a charaid mo chléibh | Oh friend of my bosom |
| Tá na sléibhte ag gabháil idir mé 's tú | The hills come between me and you |
| Deireann lucht léinn | Wise men proclaim that |
| Gur cloíte an galar an grá | Lovesickness cna leave one unwell |
| Char admhaigh mé é nó go raibh sé | I did not believe it |
| 'Ndiaidh mo chroí 'stigh a chrá | Until my poor heart came under its spell |
| Aicíd ró-ghéar, faraor | A malaise in my craze |
| Nár sheachnaigh mé í | I failed to ignore |
| Chuir sí arraing 's céad go géar | With a hundred and more aching pangs |
| Fríd cheartlár mo chroí | It's pierced my heart to the core |
| Casadh bean sí domh thíos | I met a banshee |
| Ag Lios Bhéal an Áth' | By the Fairyrath near Ballina |
| 'S d'fhiafraigh mé díthe | I asked her politely |
| An scaoilfeadh glais ar bith grá | If one could be cured of this "grá" |
| 'Sé dúirt sí os íseal | And she answered me kindly |
| I mbriathra soineanta sámh | In tones so simple and low |
| Nuair a théann sé fán chroí | "Once it sets in the heart |
| Cha scaoiltear as é go brách | It cannot be freed evermore" |
