Lyrics: English Translation:
   
The mist has cleared from Muckish Hill
Our parting coming nearer
The last embrace, the final touch
With nothing more to say
Nothing more to say
 
   
As silence fell around the bridge
Not a single word was spoken
A bitter breeze, a lonely stream
Echoed through the glen
Echoed through the glen
 
   
Droichead na ndeor The bridge of tears
Agus droichead na gcaointe And the bridge of sorrows
Droichead na gcaointe The bridge of sorrows
Agus droichead na ndeor And the bridge of tears
   
Ochón 's ó Alas
   
Memories fade with passing age
In forlorn hope we wait for
Distant hills still haunt us now
Until the end of time
Until the end of time
 
   
Droichead na ndeor The bridge of tears
Agus droichead na gcaointe And the bridge of sorrows
Droichead na gcaointe The bridge of sorrows
Agus droichead na ndeor And the bridge of tears
