English translation:
Have you seen my Seamusín
My dearest, darling, little boy
Have you seen my Seamusín
Going down the road?
He has no shoes on his little feet
His little feet, his little feet
He has no shoes on his little feet
He wears no cap or cloak
 
Seamusín is going to school
My dearest, darling, little boy
Seamusín is going to school
With a yellow book in his pocket
On his back is a little bag
A little bag, a little bag
On his back is a little bag
In which he has his lunch
 
He was born in Monalee
Below the hill in a small bird nest
He was born in Monalee
Not far from Bun Doite
Seamusín is my pride and joy
My dearest, darling, little boy
Seamusín is my pride and joy
In the morning and the evening
 
Have you seen my Seamusín
My dearest, darling, little boy
Have you seen my Seamusín
Going down the road
He has no shoes on his little feet
His little feet, his little feet
He has no shoes on his little feet
He wears no cap or cloak
