Aréir im luí dhom go tréith, lag, sínte ag déanamh smaoineadh ar néaltaibh suain

Last night lying feebly, weak, stretched thinking while having a small rest

Rinne mé smaointiú in mo intinn is lean mé dó go cinnte

I made a decision in my mind and I certainly followed it

As I was walking one evening fair, agus mé go déanach i mBaile Sheáin

As I was walking one evening fair, and I lately in St. John’s

Beir beannacht óm chroí go tír na hÉireann, bánchnoic Éireann óigh’

Take a blessing from my heart to the land Ireland, the fair hills of holy Ireland
