samhradh, samhradh, bainne na ngamhna,
thugamar féin an samhradh linn.
samhradh buí na nóinín glégeal,
thugamar féin an samhradh linn.
thugamar linn é ón gcoill chraobhaigh,
thugamar féin an samhradh linn.
samhradh buí ó luí na gréine,
thugamar féin an samhradh linn.
bábóg na Bealtaine, maighdean an tsamhraidh,
suas gach cnoc is síos gach gleann,
cailíní maiseacha bán-gheala glégeal,
thugamar féin an samhradh linn.
cuileann is coll is trom is caorthann
thugamar féin an samhradh linn.
an fhuinseog ghléigeal bhéil an átha
thugamar féin an samhradh linn.
samhradh, samhradh, bainne na ngamhna,
thugamar féin an samhradh linn.
samhradh buí na nóinín glégeal,
thugamar féin an samhradh linn.
samhradh, samhradh
samhradh, samhradh
Summer, Summer
summer, summer, milk of the calves
we have brought the summer in
yellow summer of clear bright daisies
we have brought the summer in
we brought it in from the leafy wood
we have brought the summer in
yellow Summer from the time of the sunset
we have brought the summer in
mayday doll, maiden of summer
up every hill and down every glen
beautiful girls, radiant and shining
we have brought the summer in.
holly and hazel and elder and rowan
we have brought the summer in.
and bright ash-tree at the mouth of the ford
we have brought the summer in.
summer, summer, milk of the calves,
we have brought the summer in.
yellow summer of clear bright daisies,
we have brought the summer in.
summer, summer
summer, summer
