Ag taisteal dom síos fá'n chósta Na réalta ag dealramh sa spéir Ag meabhrú ar laetha mo hóige 'S an áit úd ar chaith mé mo shaol
Tá aill álainn deas ar a' taobh seo Ag bualadh 's'briseadh'g 'na toinn Na daoine tá cóir agus crualach Ag truaileadh an domhan seo gach óich'
Chonaic mé í mar long mór Is fuair mise stráin is is caoin Má scriostar arís 'measc mo cheartlár An lá úd nar bheith mise sa shaol
Travelling down by the coast The stars shimmering in the sky Looking back at my days of youth And the place in which I spent my life
There's a beautiful cliff on this side That was hit and broken by the waves The people that are odd and cruel Polluting this world every night
I saw her, like a great ship I felt in me strain and it's sad If this place is destroyed again in front of my people It'll be the day when I am in this life
