In the village of Kildoran
lived a maiden young and fair.
Her eyes, they shone like diamonds,
she had long and golden hair,
a countryman came riding up
to her daddy’s gate,
mounted on a milk-white stallion,
he came at the stroke of eight.
Step it out Mary, my fine daughter,
step it out Mary if you can.
Step it out Mary, my fine daughter,
show your legs to the countryman,
show your legs to the countryman.
So I’ve come to court your daughter,
Mary of the golden hair,
I have gold and I have silver,
I have lands beyond compare.
I will buy her silks and satins and
a gold ring for her hand.
I will build for her a mansion,
she’ll have servants to command.
Step it out Mary, my fine daughter...
„Oh dear sir I have a soldier
and I’ve pledged to him my hand.
I don’t want your gold nor silver,
I don’t want your house nor land.”
Mary’s father spoke up sharply,
„you will do as you are told,
you’ll marry him on sunday
and you’ll wear the ring of gold.”
Step it out Mary, my fine daughter...
Az bajom van véled
Sír a szívem érted
Sír a szívem érted
Majd meghalok érted.
Indulj el egy úton
Én es egy másikon
Hol egy mást találjunk
Egymáshoz se szóljunk
Aki minket meglát
Mit fog az mondani
Azt fogja gondolni
Hogy idegenek vagyunk.
Idegenek vagyunk
Szeretetet tartunk
Ahol össze gyűlünk
Ketten szeretkezünk
In the village of Kildoran
there’s a deep stream running by.
They found Mary there on sunday,
she had drowned with soldier boy.
In the cottage there is music,
you can hear her daddy say,
„Step it out Mary my fine daughter,
sunday is your wedding day.”
Step it out Mary, my fine daughter...
