Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Ag taisteal dom síos fá'n chósta Travelling down by the coast
Na réalta ag dealramh sa spéir The stars shimmering in the sky
Ag meabhrú ar laetha mo hóige Looking back at my days of youth
'S an áit úd ar chaith mé mo shaol And the place in which I spent my life
   
Tá aill álainn deas ar a' taobh seo There's a beautiful cliff on this side
Ag bualadh 's'briseadh'g 'na toinn That was hit and broken by the waves
Na daoine tá cóir agus crualach The people that are odd and cruel
Ag truaileadh an domhan seo gach óich' Polluting this world every night
   
Chonaic mé í mar long mór I saw her, like a great ship
Is fuair mise stráin is is caoin I felt in me strain and it's sad
Má scriostar arís 'measc mo cheartlár If this place is destroyed again in front of my people
An lá úd nar bheith mise sa shaol It'll be the day when I am in this life
