English Translation: |

|
Má fhághaimse sláinte as fada bhéas |
As long as I have health |
Tráchtadh ar an méid do bháthadh as Anach |
There will be said about hose who died at Annaghdown |
'S mo thruagh amárach gach athair's máthair |
And my sorrow tomorrow every father and mother |
Bean as páiste tá ag sileadh súl |
Woman and child are weeping |
|
|
Ach lá chó breá leis gan ghaoith ná baisteach |
But such a beautiful day without wind or rain |
Lán an bháid aca sguab' ar siúl |
The whole boat of them to be swept away |
|
|
A Rí na nGrásta, cheap Neamh is Párrthas |
King of Graces who created Heaven and Paradise |
Nár bheag an tábhacht dúinn beirt ná triúr |
It would not have been much to take two or three |
Ach lá chó breá leis gan ghaoith ná baisteach |
But such a beautiful day without wind or rain |
Lán an bháid aca sguab' ar siúl |
The whole boat of them to be swept away |
