Lyrics:

T� mo gr�bh�il �, a sh� �g�
Greamaithe don dhe�na�, a h-�b�
'S mo ghr�bh�il gheal f�n �n�n tr�igh
'S m� 'gabh�il i ts�ile i mBaile Le�il

'S a bhean uda� thall, a sh� �g�
T� a' si�l na traigh seo a h-�b�
Nach truaigh leat bean ina h�ire ceoidh
'S � 'gabh�il a b�thadh i mBaile Le�il

� n�l mo ghaol, a sh�og�
N� mo ph�irt, a h-�b�
'S an uair nach bhfuil, san �ire ceoidh
'S � bheirim cead sn�mh duit i mBaile Le�il

Tiocfaidh m'athair a sh� �g�
Anuas f�n tr�igh a h-�b�
Is gheobhaidh s� mise 'mo bhrad�n bhog bh�idhte
'Gabh�il i ts�ile i mBaile Le�il

N� thiocfaidh d'athair a sh�og�
Anuas f�n tr�igh a h-�b�
N� tiocfaidh m� f�in 'na ban� an lae
A scaoileadh le c�aslaidh i mBaile Le�il

� t� leanb�n agam a sh� �g�
I gcionn a ch�ig raithe a h-�b�
Is b�idh leanb�n eile 'na h�ire ceoidh
I gcionn a thr� raithe i mBaile Le�il

� t� leanb�n agat, a sh�og�
I gceann a ch�ig raithe, a h-�b�
'S b�idh leanb�n agam � �ire ceoidh
A bheas ina mh�istir i mBaile Le�il

Tabhair mo bheannacht, a sh� �g�
Annsoir mo mh�thair, a h-�b�
'S � darna beannacht � �ire ceoidh
'S ar 'athair mo chlainne i mBaile Le�il

N�r thabharf� mo bheannacht, a sh� �g�
Annsoir mo mh�thair, h-�b�
A bh�arfaidh mo mhallacht � �ire ceoidh
'S �n athair mo clainne i mBaile Le�il

Ina m�anair do'n mhnao� �ig, a sh� �g�
A rachas 'm'�itse, a h-�b�
B�idh beith�gh geala � �ire ceoidh
Is fuinneoga� gloinn' aici 'mBaile Le�il

� mise an bhean �g, a sh�og�
A rachas 'd'aitse, a h-�b�
B�idh beith�gh geala � �ire ceoidh
Is fuinneoga� gloinn' aici 'mBaile Le�il

TRANSLATION
This is my grave, a sh� �g�
Trapped in the channel, oh no
My white grave beneath the foaming strand
As I'm drowning in Baile Le�il

Oh woman yonder, a sh� �g�
Who is walking on the strand, oh no
Have you no pity for a woman in her watery grave
Who is drowning in Baile Le�il

You're not my relation, a sh�og�
Nor my friend, oh no
The time has come, hasn't it, in the watery grave
That I took you to swim in Baile Le�il

My father shall come, a sh� �g�
Down to the strand, oh no
And find my soft bloated body
Drowning in Baile Le�il

Your father shan't come, a sh�og�
Down to the strand, oh no
Nor shall I come myself 'til break of day
To free you in Baile Le�il

Oh I have a babe, a sh� �g�
Who is fifteen months old, oh no
And another babe will be in his watery grave
Who is three months old in Baile Le�il

Oh you have a babe, a sh�og�
Who is fifteen months old, oh no
And I will have a babe from this watery grave
Who will be the master in Baile Le�il

Take my blessing, a sh� �g�
Back to my mother, oh no
And my second blessing from a watery grave
To the father of my children in Baile Le�il

You would not take my blessing, a sh� �g�
Back to my mother, oh no
You shall take my curse from a watery grave
And from the father of my children in Baile Le�il

There's fortune in store for the young woman, a sh� �g�
Who will take my place, oh no
And will have pure white cattle from a watery grave
And windows of glass in Baile Le�il

I am the young woman, a sh�og�
Who will take your place, oh no
And will have pure white cattle from a watery grave
And windows of glass in Baile Le�il
