Cá bhfuil na Fianna cróga - nach bhfuil siad ann
Cá bhfuil mo cairde ógra - taispan iad dom
Nach aithne me, Oisín, sar mhac as Fionn
Is mé ar ais arís in Éireann
Gach rud athrach anois - gach rud difriúil
Is dún na Fianna i creach sna coilte mór
Is bhrónach trom a cneasta ar mo ceann
Is mé ar ais arís in Éireann
Where are the brave Fianna, are they not here?
Where are my young friends, are they not here?
Don't you recognise me, Oisin, the son of Fionn?
Now that I am back in Eireann
Everything has changed now, everything is different
The forts of the Fianna are in ruins in the great woods
A heavy depression has decended on my mind
Now that I am back in Eireann
