Morning and the start of the day
Maidin 's tús an lae
And I leave my home.
's fágaim mo bhaile.
My heart is grieving
Tá mo chroíse go brón
And my youth is long past.
's fada ar shiúl m'óige.
Chorus:
Curfá:
Night and I am alone.
Oíche 's mé liom féin.
Endless deep black skies.
Spéartha dubh go domhain, a choích.
Recollecting thed ays that were
Ag cuimhneamh ar laetha a bhí
Carefree and happy [1]
Gan ghá agus gan ghruaim.
I listen to the wind.
Éistim leis an ghaoth.
Great loneliness, forever, and ever.
Uaigneas mór, go deo, a choích.
The end of the great journey,
Deireadh an turas mór,
I am sad, sorrowful, and broken.
Táim brónach, buartha 's briste.
After me, there will be nothing more,
I mo dhiaidh nach mbeidh níos mó,
But, it is our fate, children.
Ach, tá sé I ndán dúinn, a pháistí.
Repeat last line
Repeat last line
Chorus
Curfá
Long ago was the day
Is fada anois an lá
That I left my home.
A d'fhág mé mo bhaile.
There is no joy in my life.
Níl áthas I mo shaol.
Nothing is left except the dead.
Níl ann ach an marbh.
Repeat last line
Repeat last line
