ri na cruinne
ta na daoine ag milleadh
an chine daonna
nil muid curamach go leor
(a) ri na cruinne
ta'n dulra scriosadh
o bhliain go bliain
nil muid faichilleach go leor
muscail ar misneadh
frid an domhain
muscail ar misneadh
trid an domhain
muscail ar misneadh
trid an domhain mhor
Translation
king of the world
folk are destroying
the human race
[because] we don't care enough
king of the world
nature is being destroyed
from year to year
we're not aware enough
let's rouse our courage
all over the world
let's rouse our courage
all over the world
let's rouse our courage
through the wide world
