"Cá bhfuil siad Anois" Where Are They Now
...................................................................



Cá bhfuileadar anois, mic na hÉireann?

’s siad marbh, ina gcoladh innú i dteach Dé,

Ach éireoidh siad san am atá le teacht,

I mbaile na hAingil ag tús an lae.


Ná bíodh brón oraibh ar a son,

Ní shé an bás atá úfásach,

Is maith an rud é toisc go bhfuil sé fíor,

go n-éireoidh siad ar thaobh Dé amárach.



* Where are they now, the sons of Éireann

* They are dead, sleeping today, inthe house of God

* But they will awaken IN the time to come

* In the home of the Angels, at the start of the day.

* Don’t be sad about them

* It is not the death that is horrible

* It is good thing because it is true

* That they will awaken at Gods side tomorrow.
