An ciaradh m'fheasgair 's mo bheath' air claoidh
Mo rosg air dunadh 's a' bhas gun chli.
Stiuir curs' an lar leam gu Eilean ciatach
Gu Aignish sgiamhach far an d'araich mi.
An sin gun cairich sibh mi 'san fhod
A measg mo chairdean 'smo shinnsrean coir,
Ri tonnan barr-gheal a' bualadh traghad
'Sri machair Aignish nan laoigh 's nam bo.
--------------------------------------------
When day is over and life is done
Mine eyes have closed and my strength has gone
O westwards take me and quietly lay me
In Aignish graveyard beside the sea.
There please leave me by kith and kin
By parents kindly and all my friends,
By white waves pounding on beaches sounding
By Aignish graveyard beside the sea.
