A Bhidí bheag mhúinte

A Bhidí bheag mhúinte, is tú d'fhág mo chroí dúnta, Scéimh na gcúig gcúige in do chuirlín deas donn, Tá rós i gclár d'éadain 'chuirfeadh maise ar mhná Éireann, Is in ainneaoin chlann na nGael, 'sí Bidí mo (G)rún. Chorus: I (cast my eye on this charming fair maiden, Is bhí mé dhá teannadh anonn le mo chroí, Orú éist is a stór, if you go with anyone, Leave your mammy and come with me. Tá buachaillí óga do m'iarraidh le pósadh, Cha phósaim go deo aon fhear in mur dtír, Ar neamhchead na slóite tá mo ghean go rómhór ort, Cha déanaim lá róúil go dtillidh tú aríst. Chorus: I (cast my eye on this charming fair maiden, Is bhí mé dhá teannadh anonn le mo chroí, Orú éist is a stór, if you go with anyone, Leave your mammy and come with me. There are young men and many coming to me and from me They all swear they'll have me but it's all in vain, Sure it's well known to many I'm in deep love with Jemmy, And I never will marry till I (see him again. Oh once in my youth 'twas I took a ramble, Le mo chúl álainn, feamainneach, triopallach donn, I asked her kindly if she would marry me, Fág do mhamaí is éalaigh liom. Chorus: I (cast my eye on this charming fair maiden, Is bhí mé dhá teannadh anonn le mo chroí, Orú éist is a stór, if you go wi th anyone, Leave your mammy and come with me. I cast my eye on this charming fair maiden, Is bhí mé dhá teannadh anonn le mo chroí, Orú éist is a stór, if you go with anyone, Leave your mammy and come with me.
