Is Acher in Gaith In-Nocht Since Tonight the Wind is High

Is acher in gaith in-nocht,
Fo-fúasna fairrge findfholt;
Ní águr réimm mora mind
Dond laechraid lainn ó Lothlind.

Is Athghéar an Ghaoth Anocht
Is athghéar an ghaoth anocht;
Croitear fionnfholt na farraige.
Ní heagal teacht thar mhuir mhín
Laochra fiáine Lochlainne.

Gaoth Àrd ann A-Nochd
Agus gaoth àrd
Ann a-nochd
Agus druim bàn a’ chuain
Fo chuthach,
Chan eagal dhomh
Gràisg ifrinn
A’ tighinn tarsainn
Air Muir Mheann.

Since tonight the wind is high,
The sea’s white mane a fury,
I need not fear the hordes of Hell
Coursing the Irish Channel.
