s' fagaim mo bhaile

, maidin is tus an lae, is fagaim mo bhaile, ta mo chroise go bron, is fad ar shiul m'oige, oiche is me liom fein, speartha dubh go domhain, a choich, ag cuimhneamh ar laethanta a bhi, gan gha agus gan ghruaim, eistim leis an ghaoth, uaigneas mor, go deo, a choich, deireadh an turas mor, taim bronach, buartha 's briste, i mo dhiaidh nach mbeidh nios mo, ach, ta se i ndan duinn, a phaisti, is fada anois an la, a d'fhag me mo bhaile, nil athas i mo chroi, nil ann ach an marbh, morning and the day's beginning, and i leave my home, my heart is breaking, my youth is long past, night and i am alone, endless deep black skies, remembering days that were, without want and without gloom, i listen to the wind, endless great loneliness forever, the end of the long journey, i am sad, sorrowful, broken, after me there will be no more, but children, it is our destiny, the day is long past, when i left my home, there is no hope in my heart, there is only death
