- Imtheochaidh soir is siar
- A dtainig ariamh
- An ghealach is an ghrian
- Fol lol the doh fol the day
- Fol the day fol the day
- Imtheochaidh an ghealach's an ghrian
- An Daoine og is a chail 'na dhiadh
- Fol lol the doh fol the day
- Fol the day fol the day
- Fol lol the doh fol the day
- Fol the day fol the day
- Imtheochaidh a dtainig ariamh
- an duine og is a chail ne dhiadh
- Fol lol the doh fol the day
- Fol the day fol the day
English Translation from Ron Burns
- I will go east and go west
- [To the places] from whence came
- The moon and the sun
- The moon and the sun will go
- And the young man
- With his reputation behind him
- I will go wherever he came from -
- The young man with his reputation behind him
