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
