Lyrics : English Translation :
   
Is briste mo chroí, is uaigneach mo shlí Broken is my heart, lonely my life
'S mo stóirín ina luí 's mé cráite With my darling child lying here and me in torment
'S é deireadh mo shaol é, 's mo chailín beag rua It is the end of my world, my little red-haired girl
Sínte i gCrucán na bPáiste Laid out in Crucán na bPáiste
   
Ni fheicfidh sí arís an drúcht ar an bhféar She will not see again the dew on the grass
Nó an sneachta i ngleannta Maamtrasna Nor the snow in the glens of Maamtrasna
Gan ghrian ar a h-aghaidh, gan ceol binn na n-éan No sun on her face, no sweet song of the birds
Ach an cré fuar i gCrucán na bPáiste Only the cold earth of Crucán na bPáiste
   
In ainm an Athair 's an ainm an Mhic In the name of the Father and in the name of the Son
'S a Mháirín atá lán de ghrásta And Mother Mary full of grace
In ainm an Spiorad Naomh ná fág mé beo In the name of the Holy Spirit, don't leave me alive
'S mo mháinlín i gCrucán na bPáiste With my little angel in Crucán na bPáiste
   
Is buartha na sléibhte, 's tá mairg ar an Mask There's sadness on the mountains, anger on the Mask
Is olc mise gan í bheith sábhailte But much worse am I that didn't save her
'S an fhad a bhéas me beo ní sheasfaidh mé ar bhfód And for the time I am alive never will I stand upon the ground
Na hÉireann nó i gCrucán na bPáiste Of Ireland nor in Crucán na bPáiste
   
In ainm an Athair 's an ainm an Mhic In the name of the Father and in the name of the Son
'S a Mháirín atá lán de ghrásta And Mother Mary full of grace
In ainm an Spiorad Naomh ná fág mé beo In the name of the Holy Spirit, don't leave me alive
'S mo mháinlín i gCrucán na bPáiste With my little angel in Crucán na bPáiste
'S mo mháinlín i gCrucán na bPáiste With my little angel in Crucán na bPáiste
