Der Abend graut, Herbstfeuer brennen.
Über den Stoppeln geht der Rauch entzwei.
Kaum ist mein Weg noch zu erkennen.
Bald kommt die Nacht; ich muß mich trennen.
Ein Käfer surrt an meinem Ohr vorbei.
Vorbei.

Tráthnóna chugainn, an fómhar trí thine.
Trasna an choinligh téann deatach ar fán.
N’fheadar an léir dom an tslí ‘thuilleadh.
Tá ina oich’; b’fhearra dhom filleadh.
An ciaróigín ar a bhealach thar bráid.
Thar bráid.
