| Is minic mé ag smaoitiú
| I often think
|
| Is mé ag féachaint ar gach taobh dom
| I look at all sides of me
|
| Is feicim sluaite daoiní
| I see crowds of people
|
| Eadar aosta agus óg
| Between old and young
|
| 'S iad fá dheifre shíoraí
| They are in eternal haste
|
| Ag siúl a' bealach céanna
| Walking the same way
|
| Ina bhfuil mé féin go cloíte
| In which I find myself overwhelmed
|
| Ag taisteal leo sa ród
| Traveling with them in the roadway
|
| Is leanfaidh siad a choíche
| And they will continue forever
|
| Is saint ina gcroíthe
| Greed is in their hearts
|
| Ag bailiú leo maoin shaolta
| Collecting with them worldly possessions
|
| Ó mhaidin go neoin
| From morning to neon
|
| Tá mise ag leanstan daofa
| I follow them
|
| Ní bhfaighidh mé sos ná scríste
| I don’t get a break or a scratch
|
| Go sroichí mé ceann scríbeadh
| That I reached a destination
|
| Sa bhealach seo 'tá romham
| In this way 'tis before me
|
| Is iomaí cor is lúbadh
| There are many twists and turns
|
| Sa turas chun na huaighe
| In the journey to the grave
|
| Is iomaí ábhar buartha
| There are many concerns
|
| 'Casfar ort sa tslí
| 'You will be met in the way
|
| Ach 's fusa iad a shárú
| But they are easier to overcome
|
| Le greann agus le gáire
| With humor and laughter
|
| 'S a bheith i gcónaí sásta
| And to always be happy
|
| Nó a theacht le toil an Rí
| Or come with the will of the King
|
| Is cuma cad é atá i ndán domh
| No matter what's in store for me
|
| Ag Dia amháin atá a fhios ag sin
| Only God knows that
|
| Ní bheidh mé choíche cráite
| I will never be tormented
|
| Le buaireamh ná brón
| With worry or sorrow
|
| Ach cuirfidh mé mo dhóchas
| But I will put my hope
|
| I nDia mhór na Glóire
| In the great God of Glory
|
| Is dhéanfaidh sé mo threorú
| He will guide me
|
| Sa bhealach seo 'tá romhainn | In this way 'we are ahead |
