’S nach bliain go ham seo sea a dearnadh an chreach mhór,Ní hamháin ar Ghaillimh ach ar chuile thír, Nuair a sciob an bás uainn an seanfhear álainn, Sé Máirtín Mór a bhí ina T.D.
Nuair a chuaigh an scéal cráite ar fud na háite, Bhí lag is láidir i ndólás faoi, Mar bhí a gcaraid caillte acu a thógfadh an láimh leo, Ní inniu ná amárach é ach ar feadh a saoil.
’S nár tógadh amach é lá arna mháireach, As an bparlús álainn ’nar chaith sé a shaol, Nár fhág sé a dheirfiúirín go buartha cráite, Ní inniu ná amárach ach ar feadh a saoil.
Nach raibh ardaifreann ann dhó lá arna mháireach, Bhí an séipeál lán is é ag cur thar maoil, Bhí íseal is uasal as chuile cheard ann, Ó fhear an bháinín go dtí an T.D.
Nach raibh a chuid caiple móra ins an stábla an lá sin, Bhí a gcloigne in airde acu is a gcluasa síos, Is an osna a ligeadar ag dul thart do Mháirtín, Dheamhan fear dá láidre nach bpléascfadh a chroí.
Nach raibh a chuid báid mhóra sa gcuan an lá sin, Ón yawl pléisiúir go dtí an soitheach mór, Is an bhratach a bhíodh acu i gcónaí in airde, Ní raibh sí an lá sin ach i leath an chrainn.
Nach raibh na healachaí bána ar snámh an lá siúd, Bhíodar aniar ó Árainn is ó Shruth na Maoil’, Bhíodar ag marcháil aníos mar a bheadh saighdiúir garda, Le bheith ag meetáil Mháirtín ag an tornóig aoil.
Is ní raibh aon chrosbhóthar ná coirnéal sráide, Nach raibh an lá údan ag cur thar maoil, Bhí bean is páiste ag gol is ag gárthaíl, Faoi bheith ag breathnú ar Mháirtín ag dul i gcill.
Mar dá mbeadh an choir mhór déanta agat, is an bás i ndán duit, Is gan aon fhaill agat a dtiocfá tríd, Go mbeadh an bolta tarraingthe is an tsnaidhm dá fáisceadh, Dá mbeadh focal Mháirtín agat nach raibh tú slán.
Mar bhí an croí mór flaithiúil ag a dhream i gcónaí, Bhíodh a bpócaí lán is iad go rímhaith faoi, Ní raibh fuacht ná faitíos roimh lag ná láidir, Is nach leis an bhfábhar a briseadh an dlí.
Ní filí mise, cé nár dhual dom cliseadh, ’S ní mórán oideachais atá i mo cheann, Ach mholfainn Máirtín thar fhearaibh Éireann, Mar thug sé beatha dhúinn nuair a bhí muid gann.
And this time a year that has been made ??the sea a large prey, not just for Galway but on each country, when death snatched away the lovely old man, He was a Major Martin TD
When the story went everywhere tormented, was strong in weak sorrows about, as they had lost gcaraid the hand would take them, not today or tomorrow but for life.
And not taken out the morrow, Of the beautiful parlor which it spent his life, not been left to dheirfiúirín that sadly tormented, not today or tomorrow but for life.
There was not burning ardaifreann morrow, The Church of lot is overflowing, was the noble low from each craft there, from the man to the TD bháinín
Was not his big horses in the stable that day, had their heads up their ears are down, is the sigh that pretended to Martin's passing, there was not a strong man of the explosion not to heart.
Was his large boats in the harbor that day, From yawl pleasure to the large vessel, is the flag they were always up, not that day was only half the trees.
Was not the white floating healachaí the day who, They were from west of the Aran Islands Malone Stream ', They were march pleasure up like a soldier guard, To be at a meet wishes tornóig Martin at the lime.
Is no intersection or street corner, not the day yon were overflowing, was the child crying woman is at gárthaíl, By watching Martin going in a cell.
So if you have made ??the big crime, the death is in store for you, is you have no opportunity to come through, would the bolt towing the two pressing knot, would you Martin word you did not survive.
As the heart was generous to laureates have always used a lot of pockets are keenly aware of, was not cold or fear of weak or strong, is not favored to break the law.
Poets not me, although I ply failure, and not much education in my head, But Martin would recommend over the men of Ireland, as he gave his life for us when we were scarce.
