‘Faoiseamh a Gheobhadsa’
Faoiseamh a gheobhadsa
Seal beag gairid
I measc mo dhaoine
Ar oileán mara,
Ag siúl cois cladaigh
Maidin is tráthnóna
Ó Luan go Satharn
Thiar ag baile.
Faoiseamh a gheobhadsa
Seal beag gairid
I measc mo dhaoine
Ó chrá chroí,
Ó bhuairt aigne,
Ó uaigneas dhuairc,
Ó chaint ghontach
Thiar ag baile.

‘I Will Find Solace’
I will find Solace
A short while
Amongst my people
On a sea island
Walking the stone beach
Morning and evening
From Monday to Saturday
In the west at home
I will find solace
A short while
Amongst my people
From heart sorrow
From mind worry
From joyless lonliness
From hurtful talk
In the west at home
