Dó Ín Dú
traditional, arr. Susan McKeown

Dó ín dú ó déidil ó, ’gus tá mo stór chomh deas
Dó ín dú ó déidil ó, ’s nach bhféadaim éirighe as
Is dó ín dú, dú ó déidilum.

’Gus tá mo ghrá chomh cóir
Le gloine i dteach an óil

’S nach neanntóg is bláth buí
Atá a’ fás ar áit mo thí

Grá mo chroí do chois
Is í a dhaimhseodh leis an bport

Grá mo chroísa an té
Nach bhfaca mé ó inné

Is iomdha corr is cleas
I do chroí nach bhfuair mé amach

Tá mo chroí chomh trom
Le cloch a chaithfí i dtom

Dúirt mo stór liom féin
Gan géilleadh do lucht bréag

Translation: The Things In Your Heart

My love is so nice
That I cannot give him up

My love is as comely
As a glass in a drinking house

Is it not nettles and yellow blossoms
That are growing on the foundation of my house?

I love your foot
When it is dancing to the tune

I love the one
I haven’t seen since yesterday

There are all sorts of strange things and tricks
In your heart that I never found out

My heart is as heavy
As a rock thrown into the bushes

My love said to me
Not to give in to liars
