s' fagaim mo bhaile

maidin is tus an lae

is fagaim mo bhaile

ta mo chroise go bron

is fad ar shiul m'oige

oiche is me liom fein

speartha dubh go domhain

a choich

ag cuimhneamh ar laethanta a bhi

gan gha agus gan ghruaim

eistim leis an ghaoth

uaigneas mor

go deo

a choich

deireadh an turas mor

taim bronach

buartha 's briste

i mo dhiaidh nach mbeidh nios mo

ach

ta se i ndan duinn

a phaisti

is fada anois an la

a d'fhag me mo bhaile

nil athas i mo chroi

nil ann ach an marbh

morning and the day's beginning

and i leave my home

my heart is breaking

my youth is long past

night and i am alone

endless deep black skies

remembering days that were

without want and without gloom

i listen to the wind

endless great loneliness forever

the end of the long journey

i am sad

sorrowful

broken

after me there will be no more

but children

it is our destiny

the day is long past

when i left my home

there is no hope in my heart

there is only death
