歌词
Across the dewy morning hills of Eireann

Rode Niamh Chinn Oir on a snow-white steed

To Oisin poet of the Fianna

For she fain would this mortal wed

Ride with me to the fairy land of Tir Na Nog

For I have long loved you said she

And Oisin taken with her beauty

He bade farewell to his company

They rode through stormy regions far beyond the sea

To a land where time had ne'er its harvest reaped

And for an age there Oisin lived contented
欧辛在这里过了一阵子满意的生活
Till longing for his comrades made him weep
直到对战友的思念使他哭泣
I cannot help but read these sad dreams in your eyes
“我情不自禁在你眼中读到这些悲伤的梦”
So you may return to your country
“所以你还是回到你的国家吧”
And take my blessing with this one command
“带着我的祝福离开吧”
Do not dismount from you fairy steed
“但请记住不要从你的神马身上下来”
But when at last he reached that misty island
但当他终于到达那个雾气朦胧的小岛
So strange a sight did meet his puzzled frown
眼前的景象使他困惑万分
For Oisin rode as a giant among the people
因为欧辛在人群中像巨人一样骑着马
And nowhere were the Fianna to be found
无论在哪里也找不到他的费奥纳战友
He learned from a gathering of workers
他向一群工人打听消息
Together straining with a heavy weights
这些工人在合力搬动重物的时候告诉了他
That centuries before his friends had perished

Which painful tidings filled him with despair

As payment for the news that we have told you
“作为我们告诉你消息的报酬”
Pray help us with this heavy stone to move

For if your strength should match your mighty stature
”因为如果你的力量和你的体型相称“
Scarce more than a touch enough should prove
“这对你来说就是举手之劳”
But the saddle tore as Oisin leaned to help them
但当欧辛附身帮助他们的时候马鞍撕裂了
And sorely he upon the ground was thrown
他极其痛苦地倒在地上
He quickly changed to an aged man
转瞬间老态龙钟
And ne'er again laid eyes on Tir Na Nog.
后遂无问津者
