Morning mist on the river
Gently, over fear the waiting moon
Bitter tears, bitter tears
Bitter in the sand, in the sand
Tears the evening calms
In the sand, disappear in the sand
In bitter morning mist on the river

Ceo mhaidne ar an abhainn
Go bog thar dealbh
Fan gealach

Searbh sa ghainnimh sa ghainnimh
Teora Cosuil le h-oiche moillitheach
Sa ghainnimh maibh sa ghainnimh
Sa searbh ceo mhaidne ar an abhainn
