Johnny Has Gone For A Soldier [Siúil a ruin; Shule Aroon]
anonimo
Lingue: Inglese, Gaelico irlandese
I wish I were on yonder hill
'Tis there I'd sit and I'd cry my fill,
And ev'ry tear would turn a mill,
And a blessing walk with you, my love
Variant for last line of every verse:
Iss go jay too mavoorneen slahn.
His hair was black and his eyes were blue
His arms were strong and his words were true
I wish in my heart that I were with you
And a blessing walk with you, my love.
I'll sell my only spinning wheel
To buy my love a sword of steel
And a blessing walk with you, my love
Took my love across the sea
I wish in my heart he were here with me
And a blessing walk with you, my love
I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red
And 'round the world I'll beg my bread,
Until my parents shall wish me dead
And a blessing walk with you, my love
Come, come, come O love,
Quickly come to me, softly move,
Come to the door and away we'll flee,
And safe forever may my darling be.
Optional verses:
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain
I wish I had my heart again,
And vainly think I'd not complain
And a blessing walk with you, my love
But now my love has gone to France
To try his fortune to advance.
If he e'er come back, 'tis but a chance
And a blessing walk with you, my love.
'Tis there I'd sit and I'd cry my fill,
And ev'ry tear would turn a mill,
And a blessing walk with you, my love
Variant for last line of every verse:
Iss go jay too mavoorneen slahn.
His hair was black and his eyes were blue
His arms were strong and his words were true
I wish in my heart that I were with you
And a blessing walk with you, my love.
Shule, shule, shule aroonI'll sell my rod, I'll sell my reel
Shule go succir agus, shule go kewn;
Shule go dheen durrus oggus aylig lume,
And a blessing walk with you, my love.
[In standard Gaelic:
Siúil, siúil, siúil a ruin
Siúil go sochair agus siúil go ciúin
Siúil go doras agus ealaigh líom
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slán]
I'll sell my only spinning wheel
To buy my love a sword of steel
And a blessing walk with you, my love
Shule, shule, shule aroonThen the king, he was forced to flee
Shule go succir agus, shule go kewn;
Shule go dheen durrus oggus aylig lume,
And a blessing walk with you, my love.
Took my love across the sea
I wish in my heart he were here with me
And a blessing walk with you, my love
I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red
And 'round the world I'll beg my bread,
Until my parents shall wish me dead
And a blessing walk with you, my love
Come, come, come O love,
Quickly come to me, softly move,
Come to the door and away we'll flee,
And safe forever may my darling be.

Shule go dheen durrus oggus aylig lume,
And a blessing walk with you, my love.
