Brauch Na Carraige Baine

Is thiar cois abhainn gan bhréag gan dabht And west by the river, without a doubt or lie
 Ta an ainnir chiúin tais mhánla There is a quiet gentle beauty
 Is gur ghile a cam ná an eala ar an dtonn And her waist is a bright as any swan on the wave
 Ó bhaitheas go bonn a bróige From the crown of her head to the soles of her feet
 'Sí an stáidbhean í a chráigh mo chroí She is the woman that tormented my heart
 Is d'fhág sí i m'intinn brónach And left me heartbroken
 Is leigheas le fáil níl agam go brách There is nothing that will cure me
 Ó dhiúltaigh mo ghrá gheal domsa Since my true love rejected me
 Ó b'fhearr liom fhéin ná Éire mhóir I would prefer, than all of Ireland
 Ná saibhres Rí na Spáinne Or the wealth of the king of Spain
 Go mbéinnse 'gus tusa i lúb na finne That you and I could be together in a quiet spot
 I gcoilltibh i bhfad ón ár gcáirde In a wood far from our friends
 Ó mise 'gus tusa bheith pósta a ghrá Oh you and I to be married, my love
 Le haontoil athar is máthair
 With the permission of father and mother
 A mhaighdean óig is milse póg
 Oh young maiden of the sweet kisses
 Tú grian na Carraige Báine
 You're the sun of the White Rocks
 'S a stuaire an chinn cailce, más dual dom go mbeir agam
 Oh beauty of the white hair, if you would be mine
 Beidh cóir ort a thaithneodh led' cháirde
 You would have everything your friends would like
 Idir shíoda 'gus hata ó bhonn go bathas
 From silk to hats, from head to toe
 'S gach ní sa chathair dá bhfeabhas
 And the best of everything in the city
 Beidh do bhólacht á gcasadh gach neoin chun baile
 Your cows would be driven every noon to the town
 Is ceol binn ag beacha ar bhánta
 And the bees in the meadow would sing sweetly for you
 Beidh ól ar do ghlacadh is cóiste id' tharraingt
 You would have your fill of drink and have coaches to take you
 Go bruach na Carraige Báine
 All around the edge of the White Rocks
