I found the translation on Mudcat, so i cannot vouch for for the accuracy.

[thepiper001]

@thepiper001 My love he's gone from me, no fairer than him can be found,

He'll never return until he course the wide world around.

When I'll see my love coming I'll crown him with laurel all o'er,

He's the neatest of lovers called Jimmy mo mhíle stór.

[gramach]

My father and mother they never can give me ease

Since first my true love went from me to the seas,

I bear it with patience, shedding and sighing full sore,

Lamenting the fate of Jimmy, mo mhíle stór.

[gramach]

I'll got to the greenwood and spend there all of my time,

Where no man or mortal can ever disturb my mind,

Beneath the green willow I'll lament and sigh full sore,

And I'll wait on my pillow for Jimmy mo mhíle stór.

@thepiper001

for some reason the translation skipped the words "mo mhile stor" which are "my sweet treasure"
