Chorus:

Óró bog liom í, bog liom í, bog liom í

Óró bog liom í, my brown-haired girl

Agus óró bog liom í, touch her and move with her

Gently I'd move her 'til she came to me

 

If I had my love at the end of the garden

Unknown to her daddy to the orchard we'd go

With just one whisper I would enchant her

And gently I'd move her 'til she came to me

 

Chorus

 

If I had my young love down by the seashore

Unknown to her daddy in a currach at sea

With just one whisper I would enchant her

And gently I'd move her 'til she came to me

 

Chorus
