Crochfaidh mé seólta ‘gus gabhfaidh mé siar,
Óró mo churraichín ó
‘S go hoiche Fhéile Eoin ní thiochfaidh mé aniar
Óró mo bháidín

Chorus
Óró mo churraichin ó Óró mo bháidín
Óró mo churraichin ó Óró mo bháidín

‘S nach breá í mo bháidín a’ snámh ar an gcuan,
Óró mo churraichin ó
‘S na céaslaí a dtarraint go láidir ‘s go buain,
Óró mo bháidín
Chorus

‘S nach éachtach a léimreach thar tonntracha árd
Óró mo churraichin ó
‘S nach éatrom í iompar aníos thar an trá
Óró mo bháidín

Hey Ho, My Little Curragh

I shall hoist sail and go west
Hey ho my little curragh
And until St. John’s Eve I shall not return
Hey ho my little boat.

Chorus
Hey ho, my little curragh, hey ho, my little boat
Hey ho, my little curragh, hey ho, my little boat

Isn’t my little boat lovely floating on the harbor
Hey ho my little curragh
And with the oars being pulled strongly and steadfastly
Hey ho my little boat.
Chorus

Doesn’t she leap blithely over the high waves?
Hey ho my little curragh
And isn’t she light to carry over the strand?
Hey ho my little boat.
