Bheiream toigh in Keel
Beannochaidh mé
Oh, for a boy
Oh, for a girl
Gasur, girseach
I give and I will bless

And Pat & Marge & Winifred

OH Wun-dee-ay – ee-ay
OH Wun-dee-ay – ee-ay

Suigh síos anseo aige mo thaobh
go dtugaidh mé comhairle duit
agus go n-insidh
mé mo scéal duit.

Oh, Sit down here by my side,
till I give you some advice
and tell you my story.
I would like you to go there.

OH Midee-ay – ee-ay
OH Midee-ay – ee-ay

Oh here, in Clew Bay - Wun-dee-ay
June 1894 - Wun-dee-ay
