Ngelixa uhlangothi olulodwa ulinde,
IWest ilele, iWest ilele -
Ode kwaye u-Erin angalila
Xa iConnacht ilala ngokulala.
Kukho ikhefu kunye nokumomotheka okucacileyo kunye nokukhululeka,
'Phakathi emadwaleni umgcini wabo wokugcina.
Vumani, O! vumela umntu afunde ukukhululwa
Ukusuka emoyeni ophazamisayo nolwandle olunxantisayo.
Le ngqungquthela engenamandla kunye nomhlaba othandekayo
Inkululeko kunye nezizwe;
Qinisekisa ukuba uThixo omkhulu akazange azicwangcise
Ukugqothula izigqila ikhaya elikhulu.
Yaye ulinde ubuhlanga obuqili nekratshi
Uhloniphekile waza wabuyisa loo ndawo.
Vumani, O! nehlazo loonyana babo
Unokutshabalalisa uzuko lwabo.
Ngokuqhelekileyo, kwi-van ye-O'Connor,
Ukunqoba kwadlula nganye iConnacht clan,
Kwaye iinqanawa zihamba njengama-Normans
NgoCorlieu's Pass noArdrahan;
Kwaye amaxesha kamva wabona izinto ezinamandla,
Kwaye uzuko lwabagcini beengcwaba zeClanricard,
Vumani, O!
Bafa ilizwe labo ukuze basindise
Kwiintlambo zeAughrim kunye nomtshato waseShannon.
Yaye ukuba, xa sigcina isigxina,
IWest ilele! abaseNtshona belele!
Hayi! kwaye u-Erin angazila
I-Connacht ilala ngokulala.
Kodwa, uhadi! Ilizwi lathi njengendudumo,
IWest ivukile! iWest ivuke!
Vumani, O! ukuphosa! Vumela iNgilani ingcangcazele,
Siza kujonga kuze kube sekufeni ngenxa kaErn!
