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
|
