Ag amharc tr m'ige

Gan eolas marbh

Anois, tim buartha

Ochn 's ochn .
Na laetha geal m'ige
Bh siad ln de dhchas
An bealach mr a bh romham anonn
Bh s i ndn domh go mbeinn, sln, sln.
(Repeat refrain)
(Translation:
The bright days of my youth
(In honor of my father and mother)
Looking back over my youth
I see I was contented
Without knowledge of death
I was young then
Now I am worried
During the course of the day.
(Oh sorrow!) Alas and woe, oh.
The bright days of my youth
Were full of hope
The big road that was before us then
Was what was destined to be,
Bye bye... )
