| Credits : | Ciarán Brennan |
| Appears On : | Banba |
| Language : | Gaeilge (Irish Gaelic) |
| Lyrics : | English Translation : |
| Do chromhrá s' do shairdeas | Your protection and your friendship |
| Ba mhian liom i gconaí | Were always desired |
| 'S oró grá mo chroí | And the great love of my heart |
| Scéalta is amhráin | Stories and songs |
| Go haosta le sléibhte | Old as the mountains |
| Cruaidh 's cróga le haois | Strong and brave with age |
| Curfá : | Chorus : |
| Slán le na laethe | Good-bye to the days |
| A bhí seal go haerach | That were turning so lightheartedly |
| Slán le na laethe bhí | Good-bye to the days that were |
| Slán leis an oíche | Good-bye to the night |
| A casadh orainn do'n chéad uair | Turning on the first hour |
| Slán le na laethe bhí | Good-bye to the days that were |
| Ag amharc ar an fharraige | At the sight of the sea |
| 'S an ghrian ar a'tsáile | And the sun on the seashore |
| 'S oró grá mo chroí | And the great love of my heart |
| Scéalta fa Bhalar | Were stories and Balar |
| Sna trí Mhici Gorra | In three Mici Gorra |
| Oileáin seanda mar fhís | Ancient islands like a dream |
| (Curfá) | (Chorus) |
| Bí liom a stórín samhradh go geimhreadh | I had a sweetheart from summer up to winter |
| Rún mó mhíle stór | My dearest love |
| (Curfá) | (Chorus) |
