|
|
Nach brónach a bhí mise nuair a d'fhága mé an baile
|
How sad I was when I left home
|
|
Agus dúirt mé slán leatsa a dhíl Éirinn mo ghrá
|
And bade farewell to you, Ireland, my love
|
|
Gidh gur fhéach mé bheith súgrach, á, ba deorach mo shúile
|
Though I looked happy, my eyes were tearful
|
|
'S mé a' scaradh óna chéile úd nach bhfeicfead go brách
|
Separated from you whom I'll never see again
|
|
|
|
|
Ag scaradh go brách, brách le cnoic agus gleannta
|
Separated forever, by hills and by valleys
|
|
Agus cathair dheas Chorcaí nach bhfeicfead arís
|
And never again see the beautiful city of Cork
|
|
Ag scaradh go deo, deo leis na cairde ba dhílse
|
Separated forever from faithful friends
|
|
Ó dhil-chairde m'óige ar bhruacha na Laoi
|
Oh faithful friends of my youth on the banks of the Lee
|
|
|
|
|
Nach minic a d'éiríodh grian lonrach na spéire
|
And many the times the bright sun of the skies would rise
|
|
Nach minic a bhuail sí faoi uiscí na dtonn
|
And many the times it would set under waves of water
|
|
Ó d'fhága mise an lá siúd mo mháithrín dhil Éireann
|
Since I left that day from my loyal mother Éire
|
|
Agus chuaigh mé thar sáile chun na tíre seo anonn
|
And went overseas to this land
|
|
|
|
|
Ach fós in mo chroí istigh tá cuimhne ar lasadh
|
And in my heart still there are memories still vivid
|
|
Ar maidin, iarnóin 's le titim na hoíche
|
In the morning, afternoon and at nightfall
|
|
'S i m'aisling arís bím i gcónaí mo sheasamh
|
In my vision again I remain forever
|
|
Ar charraig fhíor m'óige ar bhruacha na Laoi
|
On the true rock of my youth on the banks of the Lee
|
