Does anyone have the Irish text, and perhaps a translation of this beautiful song sung by Michael O'Domhnaill and others?

Here are the first and last verse anyway - I'm not too sure of the ones in the middle. I'd need to listen to it again (or figure out which CD it's on, dig out the CD and see if it has liner notes, I suppose...)

Is trua nach bhfuil mé in Éirinn, san áit a tógadh mé i dtús mo shaoil,
Ná faoi bhruach na binne móire, ná ag an Éirne lena taobh.
Sin an áit a bhfaighinn an t-aos óg ann a thógfadh an brón seo is an tuirse díom,
'S da mbeinn bliain eile arís ní b'óige go mbeinn a dhul leofa arís

....

A dheartháir, a Ri na Páirte, tabhair mo chás leat uilig 'na bhaile,
Mo stocaí agus mo bhróga, is mo chlócaí atá dubh daite,
Tabhair scéala ionsair mo mháithrín atá faoi dhólás anois sa bhaile,
Go bhfuil rópa cruaidh cnáibe 'dhul in áit mo charabhata.

Tá fáilte roimh chuile cheartú!
