I just happened to hear this song again (could not find it here) and have always wondered about it. Any help? And I must add...it's nice to have a great person back at the helm of the site.

Well, here are the lyrics and the chords as played by Clannad.
Hope this helps:

Si�il A R�n

--[am]---[G]----[F][G]-[am]
I wish I was on yonder hill
------[C]------[G]-----[F]----[G]
'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill
------[F]---[am]-------[F]-[G][am]
Until every tear would turn a mill
------[am]------[em7]----[F]
Is go dt� t� mo mh�irn�n sl�n

Si�il, si�il, si�il a r�n
Si�il go sochair agus si�il go ci�in
Si�il go doras agus �alaigh liom
Is go dt� t� mo mh�irn�n sl�n


I'll sell my rock, I'll sell my reel
I'll sell my only spinning wheel
To buy my love a sword of steel
Is go dt� t� mo mh�irn�n sl�n

Si�il, si�il, si�il a r�n...


I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red
And 'round the world I'll beg my bread
Until my parents shall wish me dead
Is go dt� t� mo mh�irn�n sl�n

Si�il, si�il, si�il a r�n...


I wish, I wish, I wish in vain
I wish I had my heart again
And vainly think I'd not complain
Is go dt� t� mo mh�irn�n sl�n

Si�il, si�il, si�il a r�n...


But now my love has gone to France
To try his fortune to advance
If he e'er comes back, 'tis but a chance
Is go dt� t� mo mh�irn�n sl�n

Si�il, si�il, si�il a r�n...


And here is the translation of the chorus:


Go, go, go my love
Go peacefully and quiet
Go to the door and fly with me
And may you go safe, my darling


Sl�n is beannacht,
#Roidsear
