Ag fágáil Chonamara dhom Bhí ceo ar shlaibh ó thuaidh An ceo a bhí ar mo chroí Níor ghlan sé dhíom go fóill Le haer an tsaoil a d'imigh mé Is chonaic mé go leor Is bhí tonnta Chonamara Ag dul idir mé 'gus tú
Cheap mise a stór go bhfillinn ort Ach féach nach raibh sé i ndán Mar líon an ghaoth na seolta Is thug sí mé ar fán Bhí an long umhal don fharraige Is sheol sí léi thar cionn Is bhí tonnta Chonamara Ag dul idir mé 'gus tú
Má théann tú síos cois toinne I gCladhnach glas ó thuaidh Ag tobar cois na farraige Nach bhfuil rófhada ón mbruach Breathnóidh tú ó dheas uait Ar na longa i bhfad ar gcúl Is beidh tonnta Chonamara Ag dul idir mé 'gus tú
Má chloiseann tusa glaoch thar toinn San oíche nó sa lá Ar chapall bán a thoicfas mé Ní bheidh an dara húistéar ann Má éalaíonn tú in éindí liom Go dtí an t-oileán álainn ard Is beidh tonnta Chonamara Ag ceiliúradh ár ngrá
As I was leaving Connemara The fog lay on the mountains to the north The could that was on my heart Has not lifted since The joys of the world attracted me To travel far and wide But the waves of Connemara Left a wake between you and me
I meant, my love, to return to you Although it was not to be Because the wind filled the sails And took me far away The ship was faithful to the sea And smoothly sailed away While the waves of Connemara Left a wake between you and me
If you go down to the rocky shore To Cladhnach village beyond the sea To draw water from the well Close by the seashore You will look south, I'm sure At the ships so far away While the waves of Connemara Roll between you and me
If you hear a call from over the sea At daytime or at night On a white horse I will be There to take you away If you run away with me To the beautiful noble isle And the waves of Connemara Will celebrate our love
