Lyrics :	English Translation :

Dá mbeinnse féin in Aird a Chumhaing	If I were in Aird a Chumhaing
In aice an tsléibhe 'tá i bhfad uaim	By those far-off mountains
B'annamh liom gan dul ar cuairt	I'd rarely miss Sunday visits
Go Gleann na gCuach, Dé Domhnaigh	In Glenn na gCuach

Dá mbeinnse féin in mbun Abhann Doine	If I were by Bun Abhann Doine
Mar a bhfuil mo chairdean uile	With all my friends
Gheobhainn ceol ann, ól is imirt	There'd be music, drinking and sport
Is chan fhaigheann bás in uaigneas	And I wouldn't be alone

Agus och, och Éire 'lig is ó	And oh Ireland, all of Ireland
Éire lionn dubh orm is ó	Ireland who I miss
'S'é mo chroí 'tá trom is é brónach	My heart is heavy and sad

Dá mbeadh agam féin ach coit is rámh	Give me a boat and oars
D'iomairfainn ar an tsnámh	And I'll row across the water
Ag dúil as Dia go sroichfinn slán	Praying to God that I'll reach land safely
'S go bhaighinn bás in Éirinn	And may I die in Ireland

Agus och, och Éire 'lig is ó	And oh Ireland, all of Ireland
Éire lionn dubh orm is ó	Ireland who I miss
'S'é mo chroí 'tá trom is é brónach	My heart is heavy and sad
