'S Fágaim Mo Bhaile [English translation]

And I leave my home

Morning and the start of the day

and I leave my home.

My heart is grieving

and my youth is long past.

[Chorus:]

Night and I am alone.

Endless deep black skies.

Recollecting the days that were

carefree and happy 1

I listen to the wind.

Great loneliness, forever, and ever.

The end of the great journey,

I am sad, sorrowful, and broken.

After me, there will be nothing more,

but, it is our fate, children

but, it is our fate, children.

[Chorus] x 2 2

Long ago was the day

that I left my home.

There is no joy in my life.

Nothing is left except the dead

Nothing is left except the dead.

1. lit. without need and without gloom2. The "curfá" during the second round is intoned instead of being sung with words.
