Is cosúil gur mheath tú nó gur thréig tú an greann It seems that you have changed and left behind your happiness 
Tá sneachta ga freasach fá bhéal na mbeann' The snow is frosty on the heather 
Do chúl buí daite 's do bhéilín sámh Your fair hair and your sweet mouth 
Siud chugaibh Mary Chinidh 's í ndiaidh an Éirne 'shnámh Here comes Mary Kenny after swimming the length of the Erne 

A mháithrín dhílis, dúirt Máire Bhán "Sweet mother," said Máire Bhán 
Fá bhruach an chladaigh 's fá bhéal na trá At the edge of the quay and at the mouth of the beach 
Maighdeán Mhara, mo mháithrín ard "My esteemed mother is a mermaid" 
Siud chugaibh Mary Chinidh 's í ndiaidh an Éirne 'shnámh Here comes Mary Kenny after swimming the length of the Erne 

Tá mise tuirseach agus beidh ga lá I'm tired and I will be for some time 
Mo Mháire bhroinngheal 's mo Phádraig bán My Máire of the white breast and my pale Pádraig 
Ar bharr na dtonna 's fá bhéal na trá On the top of the waves and at the edge of the sea 
Siud chugaibh Mary Chinidh 's í ndiaidh an Éirne 'shnámh Here comes Mary Kenny after swimming the length of the Erne
