Na laetha geal m'óigeThe bright days of my youth

---------------------- -----------------------------

(In ómós do mo m'athair agus do m'atair)(In honor of my father and mother)

Ag amharc tré m'óigeLooking back over my youth

Is mé bhí sámhI see I was contented

Gan eolas marbh Without knowledge of death

Bhí mé óg san am, I was young then

Anois, táim buartha Now I am worried

's fad ar shiúil an lá. During the course of the day.

Ochón 's ochón ó. (Oh sorrow!) [Alas and woe, oh.]

Na laetha geal m'óige The bright days of my youth

Bhí siad lán de dhóchas Were full of hope

An bealach mór a bhí romham anonn The big road that was before us then

Bhí sé i ndán domh go mbeinn, slán, slán. Was what was destined to be,

Bye bye...

(Repeat refrain)
