Mise Raiftearaí an file
[Misha Raftery unn filla]        I am Raftery the poet

Lán dóchais is grá
[Lawn dokhash iss graw]        Full of hope and love

Le súile gan solas
[Leh soola gunn sullas]        Eyes without light

Le ciúnas gan crá
[Leh kyunas gunn craw]        Calm without bitterness

Ag dul siar ar m’aistir
[Dull sheer air mashteer]        Going west on my journey

Le solas mo chroí
[Leh sullas mo khree]            With a light in my heart

Fán agus tuirseach
[Fawn agus turshakh]            Tired and weary

Go deireadh mo shlí
[Go dyerrah mo hlee]            To the end of my way

Féach anois mé
[Faykh anish may]            Look at me now

Is m’aghaidh ar balla
[Iss myg air balla]            It’s my face to the wall

Ag seinm ceoil
[Egg shanim kyol]            Playing music

Do phócaí folamh.
[Duh fokee follav]            To empty pockets.
