[Verse 1]
Éist anois, sons and daughters
I've been out on these waters
And it's been quite some time
Since we've hit solid ground
But I'll give yis' a song
For it might still be long
‘fore we all reach the port
So let this one resound

[Chorus]
So come on lads row
Let's haul her on home
And we've still far to go
While we're freezin' and swearin'
'Cause there's nothing here for us
So we'll head for home agus
Ba mhaith linn an Nollaig
A chaitheamh in Éirinn

[Verse 2]
Go n-éirí an farraige leat
Toisc go bhfuil muid I bhfad ó bhaile
Is olc an ghaoth nach séideann do dhuine éigin
Níl aon tinteán mar do thinteán féin
Ní huasal ná íseal, ach thuas seal is thíos seal
Táimid beagnach ann
[Chorus]
So come on lads row
Let's haul her on home
And we've still far to go
While we're freezin' and swearin'
'Cause there's nothing here for us
So we'll head for home agus
Ba mhaith linn an Nollaig
A chaitheamh in Éirinn

[Chorus]
So come on lads row
Let's haul her on home
And we've still far to go
While we're freezin' and swearin'
'Cause there's nothing here for us
So we'll head for home agus
Ba mhaith linn an Nollaig
A chaitheamh in Éirinn

[Outro]
And we've still far to go
While we're freezin' and swearin'
'Cause there's nothing here for us
So we'll head for home agus
Ba mhaith linn an Nollaig
A chaitheamh in Éirinn
