Curfá: |
Chorus (after each verse): |
|
Trasna na dtonnta dul siar dul siar |
Over the waves in a westerly way |
|
Slán leis an uaigneas is slán leis an gcian |
Farewell to exile, to sorrow and ain |
|
Geal é mo chroí agus geal í an ghrian |
Light is my heart, bright is the sun |
|
Geol 'bheith og filleadh go hÉirinn |
Now I'm returning to Erin |
| |
|
|
Chonaic mo dhóthain de thíortha i gcéin |
I've seen enough of foreign lands |
|
Ór agus airgead, saibhreas a' tsaoil |
Gold and silver, jewels of the world |
|
Éiríonn an croí 'nam le breacadh gach lae |
My heart leaps with joy at the break of each day |
|
'S mé a' druidim le dúthaigh mo mhuintir |
As I draw ever nearer my homeland |
| |
|
|
Muintir an larthair is iad cairde mo chroí |
The folks of the west are close to my heart |
|
Fáilte is féile beidh romham ar gach taobh |
A welcome awaits me with banquet and cheer |
|
Ar fhágaint an tsaoil seo is é a ghuím ar an Rí |
On parting this world all I ask of the Lord |
|
Gur leosan a shínfear i gcill mé |
That it's with them I rest forever |
