| 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 |
