Cill Chais(original) |
| Cad a dhéanfaimid feasta gan adhmad? |
| Tá deireadh na gcoillte ar lár |
| Níl trácht ar Chill Chais ná a teaghlach |
| 'S ní chluinfear a cling go brách |
| An áit úd 'na gcónaíodh an dei-bhean |
| Fuair gradam is meidhir thar mnáibh |
| Bhíodh iarlaí ag tarraingt thar toinn ann |
| 'S an t-Aifreann binn dá rá |
| Ní chluinim fuaim lachan ná gé ann |
| Ná iolar ag éamh cois cuain |
| Ná fiú na mbeacha chun saothair |
| Thabharfadh mil agus céir don tslua |
| Níl ceol binn milis na n-éan ann |
| Le hamharc an lae dul uainn |
| Ná an chuaichín i mbarra na gcraobh ann |
| Ó's í chuirfeadh an saol chun suain |
| Aicim ar Mhuire 's ar Íosa |
| Go dtaga sí arís chughainn slán |
| Go mbeidh rincí fada 'gabháil timpeall |
| Ceol fidil 's tinte cnámh |
| Go dtógfar an baile seo ár sinsear |
| Cill Chais bhreá, arís go hard |
| Is go brách nó go dtiocfaidh and díle |
| Ná feicfear é arís ar lár |
| (translation) |
| What will we do in the future without wood? |
| The end of the woods is in the middle |
| There is no mention of Kilcash or her family |
| And her cling will never be heard |
| That's where the good woman lived |
| Gained prestige and merriment over women |
| Earls used to pull over waves there |
| It's a sweet Mass to say |
| I do not hear the sound of a duck or a goose |
| Do not let an eagle roar by the harbor |
| Not even the bees to labor |
| Honey and wax would bring the crowd |
| There is no sweet sweet music of the birds |
| With the sight of the day passing away |
| Not the cuckoo in the tree bar there |
| Oh, it would put life to sleep |
| I love Mary and Jesus |
| May she come back to us safe |
| That long dances will 'catch around |
| Fiddle music and bonfires |
| May this home be built by our ancestors |
| Fine Cill Chais, again high |
| It is forever until the flood comes |
| Never to be missed again |
