Sailing away to deeper oceans

Hearts are weary

These sleepless nights are hard

But I'm still longing for the hand that led me

Where I had spent my youth away



D'fhág mé slán ag na daoine' tá fágtha

'San talamh a rugadh mé

D'fhág mé slán ag daoine istigh i mo chroí

Sin mar a bheas chóiche

(I said farewell to everyone I love)

(And the land that I'll never see again)



Sweeping the waves to foreign mountains

Strange and lonely

I struggle to be brave

How I tremble remembering your brown eyes

Don't let my memories fade away



D'fhág mé slán ag na daoine' tá fágtha

'San talamh a rugadh mé

D'fhág mé slán ag daoine istigh i mo chroí

Sin mar a bheas chóiche
