Текст песни: Rathlin Island (1847) + перевод

I haven’t slept since Wednesday evening

There is no sleep with all this grieving

No music here where once was singing

Where once was singing

We are like ghosts here on Rathlin Island

All fleshless bone, all shamed and silent

Our feet are stone where once was dancing

Where once was dancing

Sail away, love, from the island

Sail out on the sea

Turn a blue eye back on Rathlin

An baile i mo chroí

The waves are pounding Slough na Morra

Hundreds will sail, hundreds left mourning

We will look back, beimid ar marthan

Beimid ar marthan

Ochon is ochon, the hills are wailing

Carve our names in Clogh na Screeve

Ochon is ochon, the ship is sailing

In ainm Dé, in ainm Dé a rach faimíd

Today I walk Raghery’s headland

The welcome is warm here on the island

Seventy strong, it’s hard to leave them

It’s hard to leave them

Sail away, love, from the island

Sail out on the sea

Turn a blue eye back on Rathlin

An baile i mo chroí

Sail away, love, from the island

Sail out on the sea

Turn a blue eye back on Rathlin

An baile i mo chroí
