I-West's Asleep - I-Lyrics
Ngaso sonke isikhathi,
AmaWest alele, abaseNtshonalanga balele -
Oh eside futhi kuhle u-Erin angakhala
Lapho iConnacht ilala ngokulala.
Kukhona i-lake kanye nokumomotheka okumnandi nokukhululekile,
'Phakathi kunamathele ukukhushulwa kwabo.
Hlabelela, Oh! ake umuntu afunde ukukhululeka
Ukusuka emoyeni oshayayo nolwandle olwandle.
Leli phuzu elingenalutho nezwe elihle
Inkululeko nokufunwa kwezizwe;
Qiniseka ukuthi uNkulunkulu omkhulu akakaze ahlele
Ukugqilaza izigqila ikhaya elikhulu.
Futhi ube yisizwe esinamandla nesibindi
Wahlonishwa futhi wathumela indawo.
Hlabelela, Oh! ngisho nehlazo lamadodana abo
Kungabhubhisa ngempela inhlonipho yabo.
Ngokuvamile, ku-van ka-O'Connor,
Ukunqoba kwadlula umndeni ngamunye weConnacht,
Futhi izimoto njengezinyamazane zaseNormans zagijima
NgoCorlieu's Pass no-Ardrahan;
Futhi izikhathi zakamuva zenza izenzo njengezibindi,
Futhi abalindi benkazimulo ithuna likaClanricard,
Hlabelela, Oh!

Emathafeni ase-Aughrim no-Shannon.
Uma-ke,
AmaWest alele! abaseNtshonalanga balele!
Maye! futhi kungenzeka u-Erin akhale

Hlabelela, Oh! uphonsa! u-England mazamazamazama,
Sizobukela kuze kube sekufeni ngenxa ka-Erin!
