愿我的爱是一朵红红的玫瑰 I wish my love was a red red rose

　　愿我的爱是一朵红红的玫瑰 I wish my love was a red red rose-Méav

　　I wish my love was a red, red rose

　　growing in yon garden fair

　　And I to be the gardener

　　of her I would take care

　　There's not a month throughout the year

　　but my love I'd renew

　　I'd garnish her with flowers fine

　　sweet William, Thyme and Rue

　　I wish I was a butterfly

　　I'd light on my love's breast

　　And if I was a blue cuckoo

　　I'd sing my love to rest

　　And if I was a nightingale

　　I'd sing to daylight clear

　　I'd sit and sing with you, Molly

　　for once I loved you dear

　　I wish I was in Dublin town,

　　and seated on the grass

　　In my right hand, a jug of punch, and on my knee, a lass

　　I'd call for liquor freely and I'd pay before I'd go

　　I'd roll my Molly in my arms, let the wind blow high or low
