Lyrics:

I wish I was on yonder hill
Tis there Id sit and cry my fill
Till every tear would turn a mill
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan.

Siuil, siuil, siuil a ruin
Siuil go sochair agus siuil go ciuin
Siuil go doras agus ealaigh liom
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan

I'll sell my rock, I'll sell my reel
I'll even sell my spinning wheel
to buy my love a sword of steel
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan

Siuil, siuil, siuil a ruin
Siuil go sochair agus siuil go ciuin
Siuil go doras agus ealaigh liom
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan

I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red
and it's round the World I will beg for bread
until my parents would wish me dead.
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan

Siuil, siuil, siuil a ruin
Siuil go sochair agus siuil go ciuin
Siuil go doras agus ealaigh liom
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan

I wish my love would return from France,
his fame and fortune there advanced.
If we meet again, 't will be by chance.
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan

Siuil, siuil, siuil a ruin
Siuil go sochair agus siuil go ciuin
Siuil go doras agus ealaigh liom
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan

I can't believe how Sissel sings so many different languages as if they are her mother tongue, this is hauntingly beautiful and very Irish.

[yannecamilla]

@fairladyo Unbelievable indeed, and I think gaelic language does suit her voice: I love how she seems "very Irish" in this perform.

*****Thank you for sharing this beautiful song and rendition by Sissel!!

I love this version, check out Connie Dover's siuil a ruin just as good

This woman is pure golden.

Many Irish singers have done this song ... Sissel sings as beautifully as any that I've heard. Not for nothing is she called the Golden Voice of Norway.

Thank you for posting this song. Sissel is, imho, one of the finest performers of our time. The melody flows from her voice like water from a brook.
