[00:00.000]Ah! Sliabh Geal Gcua of the festivals,
[00:05.981]'tis a-far o'er the sea I be
[00:10.986]Sittin' sad and alone by the harbour wall,
[00:16.249]deserted - dismal I be
[00:21.260]'Tween me and my native homeland.
[00:26.771]the yellow stream by my side
[00:32.034]Oh! Sliabh Geal Gcua of the festivals.
[00:37.799]is not my tale very sad?
[00:43.298]Ah! If but I were with my kinsfolk,
[00:51.066]born of a gentle line
[00:54.077]When the healing rays of the sun
[00:59.336]brightly fall from a cloudless sky
[01:07.604]Or me beneath a star-lit sky
[01:12.865]with the dew on the land nearby
[01:18.131]Oh! Sliabh Geal Gcua, O what charity
[01:23.897]if only it could be.
[01:31.160]It's my fate that I'd no learnin'
[01:36.668]in the beautiful Gaelic tongue
[01:40.931]For to sing fine songs to ease my grief
[01:46.198]the ocean wide I'd cross
[01:50.959]And Sliabh Geal Gcua I'd see again
[01:56.970]in all your splendour true.
[02:01.732]Oh Deisy, dear, my darling are
[02:06.741]with your hills and plains and glens
[02:12.002]To swim the mighty ocean
[02:17.266]too weak I be, too feared beside
[02:25.283]With the help of God I'll call on all my strength
[02:32.800]to reach my Ireland shore
[02:35.804]And be safe in the hills of the festivals.
[02:41.568]the love of my heart.
