"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.
