Translation of the song lyrics An Bealach Seo 'tá Romham - Clannad

An Bealach Seo 'tá Romham (original)

Is minic mé ag smaoitiú
Is mé ag féachaint ar gach taobh dom
Is feicim sluaite daoiní
Eadar aosta agus óg
'S iad fá dheifre shíoraí
Ag siúl a' bealach céanna
Ina bhfuil mé féin go cloíte
Ag taisteal leo sa ród
Is leanfaidh siad a choíche
Is saint ina gcroíthe
Ag bailiú leo maoin shaolta
Ó mhaidin go neoin
Tá mise ag leanstan daofa
Ní bhfaighidh mé sos ná scríste
Go sroichí mé ceann scríbeadh
Sa bhealach seo 'tá romham
Is iomaí cor is lúbadh
Sa turas chun na huaighe
Is iomaí ábhar buartha
'Casfar ort sa tslí
Ach 's fusa iad a shárú
Le greann agus le gáire
'S a bheith i gcónaí sásta
Nó a theacht le toil an Rí
Is cuma cad é atá i ndán domh
Ag Dia amháin atá a fhios ag sin
Ní bheidh mé choíche cráite
Le buaireamh ná brón
Ach cuirfidh mé mo dhóchas
I nDia mhór na Glóire
Is dhéanfaidh sé mo threorú
Sa bhealach seo 'tá romhainn

(translation)

I often think
I look at all sides of me
I see crowds of people
Between old and young
They are in eternal haste
Walking the same way
In which I find myself overwhelmed
Traveling with them in the roadway
And they will continue forever
Greed is in their hearts
Collecting with them worldly possessions
From morning to neon
I follow them
I don’t get a break or a scratch
That I reached a destination
In this way 'tis before me
There are many twists and turns
In the journey to the grave
There are many concerns
'You will be met in the way
But they are easier to overcome
With humor and laughter
And to always be happy
Or come with the will of the King
No matter what's in store for me
Only God knows that
I will never be tormented
With worry or sorrow
But I will put my hope
In the great God of Glory
He will guide me
In this way 'we are ahead
