Gleanntain Ghlas Ghaoth Dobhair(original) |
| Céad slán ag sléibhte maorga |
| Chondae Dhún na nGall |
| Agus dhá chéad slán ag an Earagal árd |
| Ina stua os cionn caor 's call |
| Nuair a ghluais mise thart le loch Dhún Lúich |
| Go ciún 'sa ghleann ina luí |
| I mo dhiaidh bhí Gleanntáin Ghlas Ghaoth Dobhair |
| Is beag nár bhris mo chroí |
| Ag taisteal domh amach fríd chnoic Ghleann Domhain |
| 'S an Mhucais ar mo chúl |
| Ní miste domh 'ra le brón 's le crá |
| Gur fhreasach a shil mise súil |
| Go 'Meiriceá siar, a bhí mo thriall |
| I bhfad thar an fharraige mhór |
| D’fhag mé slán ar feadh seal ag Dún na nGall |
| 'S ag Gleanntáin Ghlas Ghaoth Dobhair |
| Níorbh é mo mhiansa imeacht ariamh |
| Ó m' thír bheag dhílis féin |
| Ach trom lámh Gall, le cluain |
| 'S le feall, a thiomáin mé i gnéill |
| B'é rún mo chroí-se pilleadh arís |
| Nuair a dhéanfainn beagán stór |
| 'S deireadh mo shaoil a chaitheamh lem ghaoil |
| Fá Ghleanntáin Ghlas' Ghaoth Dobhair |
| Slán, slán go fóill a Dhún na nGall |
| A chondae shéimh gan smál |
| 'S dod gheara breá in am an ghá |
| Nár umhlaigh riamh roimh Ghall |
| Tá áit i mo chroí do gach fear 's gach mnaoi |
| 'S gach páiste beag agus mór |
| Áta beo go buan, gan bhuairt, gan ghruaim |
| Fá Ghleanntáin Ghlas Ghaoth Dobhair |
| (translation) |
| A hundred farewells at majestic mountains |
| County Donegal |
| And two hundred farewells at the high Errigal |
| In his arch above a berry's call |
| When I moved around Dunlewey lake |
| Quietly in the valley lying |
| Behind me was Gleanntáin Glas Ghaoth Dobhair |
| My heart almost broke |
| Traveling me out through the hills of Deep Valley |
| With the Muck on my back |
| I do not mind saying with sorrow and pain |
| That's an eye - opener |
| To America west, was my journey |
| Far beyond the high seas |
| I said goodbye for a while to Donegal |
| And at Gleanntáin Glas Ghaoth Dobhair |
| My desire was never to depart |
| From my own faithful little country |
| But a heavy hand of Gaul, with a cloak |
| And with treachery, I drove in chains |
| It was my heart's desire to return |
| When I do a little treasure |
| It's the end of my life with my love |
| Fá Ghleanntáin Glas' Ghaoth Dobhair |
| Goodbye, goodbye to Donegal |
| A gentle, immaculate county |
| And your gear is perfect in time of need |
| Never bowed down before a foreigner |
| There is a place in my heart for every man and every woman |
| And all children small and large |
| Living forever, without worry, without gloom |
| Gleanntáin Glas Ghaoth Dobhair |
