Nuair a chuimhním ar do cholainn
Cuimhním ar Chnoc Bhréanainn

Breathnaím i do shúile
Feicim tonnta Thoraí
Aithním thú a stór, is tú mo chiaróg

I see Achill Island in your nose
I look in your eyes
I see the waves of Tory
I know you darling, you’re my beetle.

Tá trácht is clú agus cáil, anois le fada an lá, ar Chill Chiaráin, Leitir Móir is ar Chinn Mhara, Ar Mhuínis, Cloch na Rón, An Dóilín is Clais na nUamhan, Is nach i gCarna bhíonns an spóirt a’ainn lá Mhic Dara.

Amhrán Chuigéil

 

There is talk and honor and fame, for a long time now, for Kilkieran, Lettermore and Kinvara, for Mweenish, Roundstone, Doleen Harbour and Clais na nUamhan, And isn’t it in Carna that we have fun on Macdara day.

Bata is Bóthar

Go home to hell
And stay home in Ireland
