Lyrics: 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
