Sailing away to deeper oceans   Hearts are weary   These sleepless nights are hard   But I'm still longing for the hand that led me   Where I had spent my youth away      D'fhág mé slán ag na daoine' tá fágtha   'San talamh a rugadh mé   D'fhág mé slán ag daoine istigh i mo chroí   Sin mar a bheas chóiche   (I said farewell to everyone I love)   (And the land that I'll never see again)      Sweeping the waves to foreign mountains   Strange and lonely   I struggle to be brave   How I tremble remembering your brown eyes   Don't let my memories fade away      D'fhág mé slán ag na daoine' tá fágtha   'San talamh a rugadh mé   D'fhág mé slán ag daoine istigh i mo chroí   Sin mar a bheas chóiche
