Our ship is ready to bear away
Calm courage on the stormy sea
Our snow-white sails, they are unfurled
And soon we’ll weave on a watery world.

Do not forget love, do not grieve
For the heart is true and it can’t deceive
My heart and hand I will give to thee
So farewell my love, and remember me.

Farewell, my love, as bright as pearl
My lovely dark-haired, blue-eyed girl
And when I’m sailing the stormy sea
I hope in Ireland you’ll think on me.

Do not forget love, do not grieve
For the heart is true and it can’t deceive
My heart and hand I will give to thee
So farewell my love, and remember me.
