Í melíte tyénen nén
Tá poika, very’ anen,
Tatallanente paldave
Ma mai tá lenganen.

Ar sí i íre xéyane
Ar munta lemya nin
Ta quetuvante paldave
Nán aqua imni sin.

Oh, when I was in love with you
Then I was clean and brave,
And miles around the wonder grew
How well did I behave.

And now the fancy passes by
And nothing will remain,
And miles around they'll say that I
Am quite myself again.

From A Shropshire Lad by A.E. Housman
