na n-imirceach mór agus tairiscint ag imeacht as sin ag tíocht i bhfarraige, ná
of the great emigrants and a movement leaving from there coming into the sea, no.
D'ionsaigh 'chuile dhuine acu.
Every one of them attacked.
Ach anois nuair atá siad imithe.
But now when they are gone...
Beidh siad uilig tofa, beidh.
They will all be elected, they will..
Agus i mo chroí tá a fhios ag mapa scríobh mé amhrán.
And in my heart I know a map, I wrote a song...
Faoi cén t-ainm a thug tú air?
Under what name did you call it?
An Imirce An Imirce
The Emigration The Emigration.
A Dhia na nGrásta is úir an bhóthair!
O God of Grace, freshen the road!
Nach muid atá cráite ar an gcósta thiar?
Aren't we tormented on the west coast?
Ár muintir scaipthe ar fud na ceithre hairde.
Our people scattered across the four directions.
Agus muid í fágtha ag sileadh Joe.
And us left crying, Joe...
A bhéarfadh sway leofa ar mhuir nár thír,
That would give sway with them on a sea, not land.
