| 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 |
