The Cup Song in Irish (slightly different from the original) – English translation
I
have a ticket for a long trip [road],
two bottles of water for the
journey,
and I’d like to have a friend with me.
I’m
leaving tomorrow, will you be with me?
Chorus:
When I’m
gone,
when I’m gone,
you’ll miss me when I’m
not here,
you’ll miss my presence,
you’ll miss me
everywhere (on all sides), oh
you’ll miss me when I’m
not here.
I
have a ticket for a long trip [road],
the great world is waiting
for me,
amid the mountains, by the rivers,
a place where
there’s fine fresh air,
oh, it would be by far nicer with
you , my dear...
Chorus [2 times]
When
I’m gone,
when I’m gone,
you’ll miss me when
I’m not here,
you’ll miss me singing.
you’ll
miss me playing, oh
you’ll miss me when I’m not here.
