Shule Aroon by Elane
Shule Aroon lyrics
I wish I was on yonder hill
'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill
And every tear would turn a mill
Is go dt� t� mo mhuirn�n sl�n
[Chorus:]
Si�il, si�il, si�il a r�in
Si�il go socair agus si�il go ci�in
Si�il go doras agus ealaigh liom
Is go dt�ann t� mo mhuirn�n sl�n
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
Is go dt�ann t� mo mhuirn�n sl�n
I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red
And round the port I'll beg my bread
Until my parents shall wish me dead
Is go dt� t� mo mhuirn�n sl�n
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain
I wish I had my heart again
And vainly think I'd not complain
Is go dt�ann t� mo mhuirn�n sl�n
And now my love has gone to France
To try his fortune to advance
If he e'er comes back 'tis but a chance
Is go dt�ann t� mo mhuirn�n sl�n
[translation of the Irish chorus:]
Go, go, go my love
Go quietly and peacefully
Go to the door and flee with me
And may you go safely my dear.
