Dul síos an gleann tráthnóna aréir D'imigh an scáth as tóin a 'tsléibh An drúcht 'na luí ar bharr an fhéir An saol uilig 'na gcodhladh D'imigh an scáth as tóin a 'tsléibh Gan baol ar bith go maidin
Dúrún an dúiche seo Ó ghlúin go glúin Lonad mar fhís sa cheo Rún go ciúin
Sé cumhacht na gcrann fan áit 'Spreag na baird 'san fhilíocht Na clocha 'tá coisbicthe fan árd
Thíos fá gleann dá locha I dtobar i dúin Gartan cholmcille Sin go lá a'luain Will be until Judgment Day

D'imigh an scáth as tóin a 'tsléibh Gan baol ar bith go maidin...
Going down the glen yesterday afternoon The shadow cleared from the foot of the mountain The dew lying on the top of the grass All the world asleep The shadow cleared from the foot of the mountain No danger at all 'til morning
The mystery of this land From generation to generation A place like a dream vision in the fog A quiet secret
The power of the trees there Inspired the bards to their poetry The stones that are blessed under the heavens
Down by Glendalough In a well in a fort The hospitality of Colmcille Will be until Judgment Day
Going down the glen yesterday afternoon The shadow cleared from the foot of the mountain The dew lying on the top of the grass All the world asleep The shadow cleared from the foot of the mountain The dew lying on the top of the grass The shadow cleared from the foot of the mountain No danger at all 'til morning
The shadow cleared from the foot of the mountain No danger at all 'til morning...
