I spent time telling her the story that I would buy a comb for her
Seaweed from the yellow cliff, Irish seaweed
A 'nion mhin o,
sin anall na fir shuiri
A mhaithairin mhin o,
cuir na roithlean go dti me
Dulaman na binne bui,
dulaman Gaelach
Dulaman na farraige,
b'fhearr a bhi in eirinn
Ta ceann bui oir ar an dulaman gaelach
Ta dha chluais mhaol ar an dulaman maorach
Broga breaca dubha ar an dulaman gaelach
Ta bearead agus trius ar an dulaman maorach
Dulaman na binne bui,
dulaman Gaelach
Dulaman na farraige,
b'fhearr a bhi in eirinn
Dulaman na binne bui,
dulaman Gaelach
Dulaman na farraige,
b'fhearr a bhi in eirinn
Goide a thug na tire thu?
arsa an dulaman gaelach
Ag suiri le do nion,
arsa an dulaman maorach
Rachaimid chun Niuir leis an dulaman gaelach
Ceannoimid broga daora ar an dulaman maorach
Dulaman na binne bui,
dulaman Gaelach
Dulaman na farraige,
b'fhearr a bhi in eirinn
o chuir me sceala chuici,
go gceannoinn cior di
'Se'n sceal a chuir si chugam,
go raibh a ceann ciortha
Dulaman na binne bui,
dulaman Gaelach
Dulaman na farraige,
b'fhearr a bhi in eirinn
Dulaman na binne bui,
dulaman Gaelach
Dulaman na farraige,
b'fhearr a bhi in eirinn
Cha bhfaigheann tu mo 'nion,
arsa an dulaman gaelach
Bheul, fuadoidh me liom i,
arsa an dulaman maorach
Dulaman na binne bui,
dulaman Gaelach
Dulaman na binne bui,
dulaman Gaelach
Dulaman na farraige,
b'fhearr a bhi in eirinn
Dulaman na binne bui,
dulaman Gaelach
Dulaman na farraige,
b'fhearr a bhi, b'fhearr a bhi
Dulaman na binne bui,
dulaman Gaelach
Dulaman na farraige,
b'fhearr a bhi, b'fhearr a bhi
B'fhearr a bhi in eirinn
Oh gentle daughter, here come the wooing men
Oh gentle daughter, here come the wooing men
'What are you doing here?' says the Irish seaweed
