English Translation: |

|
|
Dá mbeinnse féin in Aird a Chumhaing |
If I were in Aird a Chumhaing |
|
In aice an tsléibhe 'tá i bhfad uaim |
By those far-off mountains |
|
B'annamh liom gan dul ar cuairt |
I'd rarely miss Sunday visits |
|
Go Gleann na gCuach, Dé Domhnaigh |
In Glenn na gCuach |
| |
|
|
Dá mbeinnse féin in mbun Abhann Doine |
If I were by Bun Abhann Doine |
|
Mar a bhfuil mo chairdean uile |
With all my friends |
|
Gheobhainn ceol ann, ól is imirt |
There'd be music, drinking and sport |
|
Is chan fhaigheann bás in uaigneas |
And I wouldn't be alone |
| |
|
|
Agus och, och Éire 'lig is ó |
And oh Ireland, all of Ireland |
|
Éire lionn dubh orm is ó |
Ireland who I miss |
|
'S'é mo chroí 'tá trom is é brónach |
My heart is heavy and sad |
| |
|
|
Dá mbeadh agam féin ach coit is rámh |
Give me a boat and oars |
|
D'iomairfainn ar an tsnámh |
And I'll row across the water |
|
Ag dúil as Dia go sroichfinn slán |
Praying to God that I'll reach land safely |
|
'S go bhaighinn bás in Éirinn |
And may I die in Ireland |
| |
|
|
Agus och, och Éire 'lig is ó |
And oh Ireland, all of Ireland |
|
Éire lionn dubh orm is ó |
Ireland who I miss |
|
'S'é mo chroí 'tá trom is é brónach |
My heart is heavy and sad |
|
