Rough Translation:
 
Chorus:
Over the waves, going west, going west!
Good-bye to loneliness and to the distant land;
It brightens my heart and the sun,
Happy to be returning to Ireland!
 
I saw my sufficiency in countries far away,
Gold and silver, the wealth of the life
My heart rises in me with the break of the day,
And me drawing closeer to the land of my people!
 
On my journey - oh! my heart rises!
The weather is beautiful and the waves nice and level
Steering directly to land of my bosom
And I'll be in Ireland tomorrow!
 
People of the West, they're the friends of my heart,
Welcome and celebration before me on every side.
Leaving this life I pray to the Lord
That it's with their ancestors in the grave I will be!
