In iníon d'aoire mé féinig gan amhras

In iníon d'aoire mé féinig gan amhras
Do bhíodh ina cónaí cois taobh na Leamhna 
Bhí bothán agam féin ann is fuinneog i gceann de 
Fad a bhíodh an bainne ag téamh agam 'sea ghlaofainn ar na gamhna 

Chorus: 
Aililiú na gamhna, na gamhna bána 
Aililiú na gamhna, na gamhna b'iad a b'fhearr liom 
Aililiú na gamhna, na gamhna geala bána 
Na gamhna maidin shamhraidh ag damhsa ar na bánta 

Faightear dom cana is faightear dom bhuarach 
Is faightear dom soitheach ina gcuirfead mo chuid uachtair 
Ceolta sí na cruinne bheith á síorchur i m'chluasa
Ba bhinne liomsa géimneach na mbó ag teacht chun buaile 

(Chorus)

Rachaimid ar an aonach is ceannóimid gamhna
Is cuirfimid ar féar iad amach ins na gleannta 
?osfaidh siad an féar is barr an aitinn ghallda 
Is tiocfaidh siad abhaile chun an bhainne i gcóir an tSamhraidh 

(Chorus 2x)

I'm a herdsman's daughter sure enough
Who once lived down by the banks of the Laune
I had a cabin there a window in the gable
While I heated the milk I called in the calves

Chorus: 
Aililiú the calves, the pretty calves 
Aililiú the calves, I loved them the best 
Aililiú the calves, the fine pretty calves 
Dancing in the meadow on a clear summer's morning

Get me a can and get me a ladle 
Get me a vessel to take all the cream 
The magic music of the world always around me 
But sweeter sounding still the cattle lowing to the parlor

(Chorus)

Let us go to the fair and buy us some calves 
Put them to grass out above in the valleys 
They'll eat all the grass and the tufts of the strange gorse 
And come home for the milk at the start of the summer

(Chorus 2x)
