Cuando en el camino a la dulce Athy
When on the road to sweet Athy
Un palo en la mano, una gota en el ojo
A stick in the hand, A drop in the Eye
Una doncella dolosa que oí llorar
A doleful damsel I heard cry
Johnny, apenas te conocía
Johnny I hardly knew ya

¿Dónde están los ojos que parecían tan suaves?
Where are the eyes that looked so mild
Hurroo Hurroo
Hurroo Hurroo
¿Dónde están los ojos que parecían tan suaves?
Where are the eyes that looked so mild
Hurroo Hurroo

¿Dónde están los ojos que parecían tan suaves?

Cuando mi pobre corazón te engañaste por primera vez
When my poor heart you first beguiled
¿Por qué huiste de mí y del niño?
Why did ya run from me and the child?

Teníamos armas, tambores, tambores y armas
We had guns and drums and drums and guns

El enemigo nunca te mató
The enemy never slew ya

¿Dónde están las piernas con las que corres
Where are the legs with which you run
Hurroo Hurroo
Hurroo Hurroo
¿Dónde están las piernas con las que corres
Where are the legs with which you run
Hurroo Hurroo
Hurroo Hurroo

Cuando fuiste por primera vez a llevar un arma
When first you went to carry a gun
De hecho, tus días de baile han terminado
Indeed your dancing days are done

No tenías un brazo, no tenías una pierna
You hadn't an arm, you hadn't a leg
Hurroo Hurroo
Hurroo Hurroo
No tenías un brazo, no tenías una pierna
You hadn't an arm, you hadn't a leg
Hurroo Hurroo
Hurroo Hurroo
No tenías un brazo, no tenías una pierna
You hadn't an arm, you hadn't a leg
Eres un huevo sin espinas, sin hueso y sin pollo
You're a spinless, boneless, chickenless egg
Tendrás que ser puesto con el cuenco para rogar
You'll have to be put with the bowl to beg
