As the dark clouds they do gather

I sing my last lament

For the ravens they do gather

My strength is almost spent

My life force it dispreses

My blood lies in the sand

The darkness is close at hand



Gaf Roi Ga my companion

I have put my trust in thee

But the darkness of the grave

Claims us all, eventually

I bid farewell to my loved ones

They and my kinsmen, please remember me



Through sacred lugh, my father

My name will never die

The deeds I have achieved

Insures my name amongst my brother

Throughout the sacred green of Eireann

My name will echo in the valleys



Cu Chulainn Hound of Ulster

Cu Chulainn Bane of Medhabh

Cu Chulainn Hound of Ulster

Cu Chulainn Champion of men



Son of an immortal

Immortal he shall be

Journey to the otherworld

To live eternally



From Emain Macha

To Tara's hall

Your name will live as legend

And to your memory

I give a toast

Dwell with the fairy host



A farewell to a hero

Your motal days are gone

Your soul now doth fly

As free as the sun
