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 [bad word]  I have put my [bad word] 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 

 farewell to a hero
 Your motal days are gone
 Your soul now doth fly
 As free as the sun
