Aréir is mé téarnamh ar neoin Ar ar dtaobh eile 'en teóra seo thiós Do thaobhnaigh an spéirbhean im' chomhair D'fhág taomanac breoite lag tinn Le haon ghean dá méin is dá cló Dá bréithre 's dá beol tanaí binn Do léimeas fá dhéin dul 'na treo Is ar Éirinn ní neosfainn cé hí Last night in strange fields as I roved Such a vision I passed on my way A young woman so fair to behold That in seconds my heart was astray Oh she reached out a welcoming hand But I knew that it never could be And before I could kiss her sweet lips She had vanished forever from me
