| Dul síos an gleann tráthnóna aréir
| Going down the valley last night
|
| D’imigh an scáth as tóin a 'tsléibh
| The shadow vanished from the bottom of the mountain
|
| An drúcht 'na luí ar bharr an fhéir
| The dew 'lying on top of the grass
|
| An saol uilig 'na gcodhladh
| All life asleep
|
| D’imigh an scáth as tóin a 'tsléibh
| The shadow vanished from the bottom of the mountain
|
| Gan baol ar bith go maidin
| No danger until morning
|
| Dúrún an dúiche seo
| Durin of this district
|
| Ó ghlúin go glúin
| From generation to generation
|
| Lonad mar fhís sa cheo
| Lonad as a vision in the mist
|
| Rún go ciúin
| Secretly silent
|
| Sé cumhacht na gcrann fan áit
| The power of the trees stays in place
|
| 'Spreag na baird 'san fhilíocht
| 'Inspire the bards' in poetry
|
| Na clocha 'tá coisbicthe fan árd
| The stones' are consecrated up high
|
| Thíos fá gleann dá locha
| Below a valley of two lakes
|
| I dtobar i dúin
| In a well in a fort
|
| Gartan cholmcille
| Gartan cholmcille
|
| Sin go lá a’luain
| That's Monday
