SUIL A RUIN

I wish I were on yonder hill 
‘Tis there I’d sit and cry my fill 
‘Til every tear would turn a mill 
Is go te tu mo vourneen slan 

CHORUS: 
Suil, suil, suil a ruin. 
Suil go suchair agus suil go cuin 
Suil go durrus agys eligh liom 
Is go te tu mo vourneen slan 

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 te tu mo vourneen slan 

CHORUS 

I wish, I wish, I wish in vain 
I wish I had my heart again 
And vainly think I’d not complain 
Is go te tu mo vourneen slan. 
  

PHONETICS: 
Shule, shule, shule aroon 
Shule go succir oggus, shule go kewn 
Shule go deen durrus oggus aylig lume 
Iss guh day too amourneen slawn. 

TRANSLATES: 
Come, come, come, O Love 
Quickly come to me, softly move 
Come to the door, and away we’ll flee 
And safe forever may my darling be.
