[And I Leave My Home]

Maidin is tus an lae

Is !@$)aim 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


[Translation]

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
