Trasna na dTonnta  Curfá: Trasna na dtonnta, dul siar, dul siar. Slán leis an uaigneas is slán leis an gcéan Geal é mo chroí agus geal í an ghrian, Geal bheith ag filleadh go hEirinn. Chonaic mo dhóthair de thíortha í gcéin Ór agus airgead, saibhreas an tsaoil. Éiríonn an chroí 'nam le breacadh gach lae. 's mé ag druidim le duiche mo mhuintire. Curfá Muintir am Iarthair 's iad cáirde mo chroí Fáilte is feile beidh romham ar gach taobh. Ar fhágail an tsaoil 's é ghuím ar an Rí, Gur leo sin a chínfear I gcill mé. Curfá

Across the Waves Chorus: Crossing the waves going west, going west. Goodbye to the loneliness & bye to the sadness Bright is my heart and bright is the sun. Bright to be returning to Ireland. I saw my fill of unhappy lands. Gold and silver, a wealthy way of life The heart arises with the break of each day. And me approaching the lands of my people. Chorus: The western people are friends of my heart. Welcome & hospitality before me on every side. Having this life here I pray to the King. To be stretched out in a churchyard with them. Chorus
