When winter comes and all is silent the saddled mare is tightly bound Fox she prowls on down by the moonlight Snow lays thickly on the ground Though we bid farewell in sorrow we will meet again in distant lands and drink a health in joy for parting when the exile will return again The hearth is hard to leave this long night We face a long and a treacherous road Hard times must be faced undaunted Our loved ones lighten up our load Though we bid farewell in sorrow we may meet again in distant lands and drink a health in joy for parting when the exile will return again The distant cairn of Cnoc na Ré stands Bare and bleached o'er Queen Medb's tomb O'Hara's castle stands undaunted Waiting for her lands to bloom Though we bid farewell in sorrow we may meet again in distant lands and drink a health in joy for parting when the exile will return again The night is cold, the children are sleeping Restful dreams of Tir na nÓg Jeanie Johnston's bound for sailing Now my friend it's time to go Though we bid farewell in sorrow we may meet again in distant lands and drink a health in joy for parting when the exile will return again Though we bid farewell in sorrow we may meet again in distant lands and drink a health in joy for parting when the exile will return again when the exile will return again
