Lyrics
Céad slán ag sléibhte maorga
Chondae Dhún na nGall
Agus dhá chéad slán ag an Earagal árd
Ina stua os cionn caor 's call
Nuair a ghluais mise thart le loch Dhún Lúich
Go ciún 'sa ghleann ina luí
I mo dhiaidh bhí Gleanntáin Ghlas Ghaoth Dobhair
Is beag nár bhris mo chroí
Ag taisteal domh amach fríd chnoic Ghleann Domhain
'S an Mhucais ar mo chúl
Ní miste domh 'ra le brón 's le crá
Gur fhreasach a shil mise súil
Go 'Meiriceá siar, a bhí mo thriall
I bhfad thar an fharraige mhór
D’fhag mé slán ar feadh seal ag Dún na nGall
'S ag Gleanntáin Ghlas Ghaoth Dobhair
Níorbh é mo mhiansa imeacht ariamh
Ó m' thír bheag dhílis féin
Ach trom lámh Gall, le cluain
'S le feall, a thiomáin mé i gnéill
B'é rún mo chroí-se pilleadh arís
Nuair a dhéanfainn beagán stór
'S deireadh mo shaoil a chaitheamh lem ghaoil
Fá Ghleanntáin Ghlas' Ghaoth Dobhair
Slán, slán go fóill a Dhún na nGall
A chondae shéimh gan smál
'S dod gheara breá in am an ghá
Nár umhlaigh riamh roimh Ghall
Tá áit i mo chroí do gach fear 's gach mnaoi
'S gach páiste beag agus mór
Áta beo go buan, gan bhuairt, gan ghruaim
Fá Ghleanntáin Ghlas Ghaoth Dobhair
Lyrics translation
Farewell to the majestic mountains
County donegal
And twice farewell to the Earagal higher
Arching over berry 's call
When I passed by dunlewey lake
Lying quietly in the glen
In my turn was Up to Green gweedore
There Is little that broke my heart
Traveling me out through hill Valley World
'S hills, and muckish behind
Don't mind me 'uk with sorrow and grief
That fhreasach to where the dust is yours hope
That 'America is back, that was my journey
Far over the great sea
For sketches I secure for a spell to donegal
'S by Up to Green gweedore
Could my mhiansa event ever
From my beloved country itself
But a heavy hand Gall, with deception
'S treachery, I drove in gnéill
B'is the secret of my heart-se to return again
When would I do a little treasure
'S the end of my life to spend poop kin
Under Templeglantine Locked' Gweedore
Safe, secure yet to donegal
The county fine and fair
'S thy gheara love in the time of need
Did not ever cower before the Foreigner
There is a place in my heart for every man 's every woman
'S every child big and small
Date of live in peace, without grief, without gloom
Under Co Green Gweedore
