| Lyrics : | English Translation : |
| Is briste mo chroí | Broken my heart |
| Is uaigneach mo shlí | Lonely my life |
| Is mo stóirín in a luí is mé cráite | With my darling child lying here and me tormented |
| 'S é deireadh mo shaol | It is the end of my world |
| Is mo chailín beag rua | My little red-haired girl |
| Sínte i gCrucán na bPáiste | Laid out in Crucán na bPáiste |
| Ni fheicfidh sí arís | She will not see again |
| An drúcht ar an bhféar | The dew on the grass |
| Nó an sneachta i ngleannta Mhaamtrasna | Nor the snow in the glens of Maamtrasna |
| Gan ghrian ar a h-aghaidh | No sun on her face |
| Gan ceol binn na n-éan | No sweet song of the birds |
| Ach an chré fuar i gCrucán na bPáiste | Only the cold earth of Crucán na bPáiste |
| Curfá : | Chorus : |
| In ainm an Athair | In the name of the Father |
| Is in ainm an Mhic | And in the name of the Son |
| Is a Mháithrín atá lán de ghrásta | And Mother Mary full of grace |
| In ainm an Spioraid Naomh | In the name of the Holy Spirit |
| Ná fág me beo | Don't leave me alive |
| Is mo mháinlín i gCrucán bPáiste | With my little angel in Crucán na bPáiste |
| Is buartha na sléibhte | There is sadness on the mountains |
| Is tá mairg ar an Mask | Anger on the Mask |
| Is olc mise gan i bheith sábháilte | But much worse am I that didnt save her |
| Is an fhad a bhéas mé beo | And for the time I am alive |
| Ní sheasfaidh mé ar fhód | Never more will I stand |
| Na hÉireann nó i gCrucán na bPáiste | In Ireland or in Crucán na bPáiste |
| (Curfá) | (Chorus) |
| Is mo mháinlín i gCrucán bPáiste | With my little angel in Crucán na bPáiste |
