Taobh cuil an doruis cha bhi grian Suidh aig bord Cha bhi biadh 's cha bhi fion Taobh cuil an doruis cha bhi grian Cha bhi biadh 's cha bhi fion
Le eiginn ar n-eirigh as ar suain Le eiginn ar n-eirigh as ar suain An Gaidheal 'sa leabaidh An Gaidheal 'na shuain Le eiginn ar n-eirigh as ar suain
Thainig e a Sasainn ann Thainig e Le eachaibh luath is iuchair throm Thainig e a Sasainn ann Le eachaibh luath is iuchair throm
(Chorus)
Air lar 'san toll-dhubh cha bhi grian Cha bhi gealach 'S dubh an oidhche chaidleas sinn Air lar 'san toll-dhubh cha bhi grian 'S dubh an oidhche chaidleas sinn
(Chorus)

On the other side of the door there will be no sun Sitting at the table There will be no food and no wine On the other side of the door there will be no sun There will be no food and no wine
It is with difficulty that we will rise from our slumber It is with difficulty that we will rise from our slumber The Gael has gone to bed The Gael is asleep It is with difficulty that we will rise from our slumber
He came from the south He came On a fast horse and with a heavy key He came from the south On a fast horse and with a heavy key
(Chorus)
On the dungeon floor there will be no sun There will be no moon Dark will be the night as we sleep On the dungeon floor there will be no sun Dark will be the night as we sleep
