Jimmy Mó Mhíle Stór

Bliain an taca seo d'imigh uaim rún mo chléibh
Ní thiocfaidh sé abhaile go dtabharfaidh sé cúrsa an tsaoil
Nuair a chífead é rithfead le fuinneamh ró-ard ina chomhair's
Clúdód le mil é, is é Jimmy mo mhíle stór

Bíonn mo mháthair is m'athair ag bearradh's ag bruíon liom féin
Táim giobaithe piocaithe, ciapaithe, cráite dem shaol
Thugas taitneamh don duine úd dob fhinne's dob aille snó
Is chuaigh sé ar bhord loinge, is é Jimmy mo mhíle stór

These twelve months and better my darling has left these shore
He ne'er will come back 'til he travels the globe all o'er
And when he returns with laurels I'll crown him all o'er
He's the finest of lovers, sweet Jimmy Mo Mhíle Stór

Rachadsa chun coille agus caithféad an chuid eile dem shaol
San áit ná béidh éinne ag éisteacht le ceol na n-éan
Ag bun an chrainn chaorthainn mar a bhfásann ann féar go leor
Ag tabhart taitnimh don duine úd, is é Jimmy mo mhíle stór

He's the finest of lovers, sweet Jimmy Mo Mhíle Stór

Jimmy Mó Mhíle Stór

This year past, my heart's love left me
He will not come home until he has traveled the world
When I see him I will run with great joy towards him
I will cover him with kisses, he is my Jimmy Mó Mhíle Stór

My mother and father are cutting and bruising me
I am tortured, battered, and wretched for my life
I gave my affection to the man who was the finest and most beautiful
He boarded a ship, he is my Jimmy Mó Mhíle Stór

These twelve months and better my darling has left these shore
He ne'er will come back 'til he travels the globe all o'er
And when he returns with laurels I'll crown him all o'er
He's the finest of lovers, sweet Jimmy Mo Mhíle Stór

I will go to the forest and spend the rest of my life there
In a place where no one will hear the music of the birds
At the foot of the rowan tree where the grass grows in abundance
Taking pleasure from the man, he is my Jimmy Mó Mhíle Stór

He's the finest of lovers, sweet Jimmy Mo Mhíle Stór
