O, it was out by Donnycarney When the bat flew from tree to tree My love and I did walk together; And sweet were the words she said to me. Along with us the summer wind Went murmuring - O, happily! - But softer than the breath of summer Was the kiss she gave to me.

Oh,c'était du côté de Donnycarney Quand la chauve-souris volait d'arbre en arbre, Mon amour et moi nous marchions ensemble ; Et doux étaient les mots qu'elle me disait. Avec nous le vent d'été Allait en murmurant -- Oh, joyeusement ! -- Mais plus doux que le souffle de l'été Fut le baiser qu'elle me donna.
