CÉ TÚ FÉIN?CÉ TÚ FÉIN?
  
Cé tú féin, a strainséar chaoin?Who are you, kind stranger?
Cé tú féin?Who are you?
An lách no dianAre you gentle or aggressive
Do bhuille thréan?Since your traumatic ordeal?
Cé tú féin?Who are you?
Ar tháinig tú ó i bhfad gcéin?And did you come from far away?
Aniar aduaidh, anoir aneas?From west from north, from east from south?
Ar tháinig tú ó fuacht nó teas?Did you come from cold or from heat?
Cé tú féin?Who are you?
  
Tar isteach, a strainséar righinCome in, tense stranger
Tar isteachCome in
Suí chun boirdSit by the table
Ól braon diHave a drink
Nó lig do scíthOr have a rest
'S inis dúinn an fáth go bhfuilAnd tell us the reason why
Do aghaidh chiúin uaigneach dorchaYour quiet face is dark and lonely
An fáth go bhfuil do shúile lán le cuamhaWhy your eyes are full of sadness
  
Cé tú féin, a strainséar chaoin?Who are you, kind stranger?

'S im' chuisleIn my pulse
I gcuideachta órga 's draíochtaIn magical, golden company
Im' lorg i leabaidhIn my footstep, in beds
I leabhar mór gach míosaIn the great book of every months
Ní thagaim níor tháinig mé riamhI don't arrive or ever come upon
Ar an ní a bhí uaimWhat's essential for my needs
  
'S i ngleanntaAnd in valleys
I gcoillte le scaipeadh na síoltaIn forests with the scattering of seeds
Mé thuas seal 's thíos sealI fill with hope and then deposit
Le suaitheadh gach oícheWith each night's storm
Ní bhraithim níor bhraith mé riamhI don't feel and I have never felt
An ní a bhí uaimWhat's essential for my needs
  
Slán agat, a strainséar chaoinAnd good-bye, gentle stranger
Slán agatGood-bye for now
'S guíom gach rathAnd I wish you every success
'S sonas ort amach anseoAnd happiness from here on in
'S beidh fáilte romhat 'riamh i m' chroíAnd you will always be welcome inside this heart
Cé uaigneach cé sonasachWhether lonely, whether happy
Cé meangadh mór na gréine ar do aghaidhWhether the sun's wide smile is on your face
