Maidin is tГѓВєs an lae
Is fГѓВЎgaim mo bhaile
TГѓВЎ mo chroГѓВse go brГѓВіn
Is fad ar shiГѓВєl m’ГѓВіige
OГѓВche is mГѓВ© liom fГѓВ©in
SpГѓВ©artha dubh go domhain, a choГѓВch
Ag cuimhneach ar laethanta a bhГѓВ
Gan ghГѓВЎ agus gan ghruaim
Eistim leis an ghaoth
Uaigneas mГѓВіr, go deo, a choГѓВch
Deireadh an turas mГѓВіr
TГѓВЎim brГѓВіnach, buartha ‘s briste
I mo dhiaidh nach mbeidh nГѓВos mГѓВі
Ach, tГѓВЎ sГѓВ© i ndГѓВЎn dГѓВєinn, a phГѓВЎistГѓВ
Is fada anois an lГѓВЎ
A d’fhГѓВЎg mГѓВ© mo bhaile
NГѓВl ГѓВЎthas i mo chroГѓВ
NГѓВl 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 )
