Maidin is t?s an lae
Is f?gaim mo bhaile
T? mo chro?se go br?n
Is fad ar shi?l m'?ige
O?che is m? liom f?in
Sp?artha dubh go domhain, a cho?ch
Ag cuimhneach ar laethanta a bh?
Gan gh? agus gan ghruaim
Eistim leis an ghaoth
Uaigneas m?r, go deo, a cho?ch
Deireadh an turas m?r
T?im br?nach, buartha 's briste
I mo dhiaidh nach mbeidh n?os m?
Ach, t? s? i nd?n d?inn, a ph?ist?
Is fada anois an l?
A d'fh?g m? mo bhaile
N?l ?thas i mo chro?
N?l ann ach an marbh.
(translation:
And i leave my home
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 (of my kind)
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 )
