There may be mistakes in this- typos as well as hearing the words wrongly.

Amhrán an Ronnach

Amuigh ?? le mo mhuintir
ag snámh in aghaidh an sruth
gan aon puthín gaoithe ann
ach uisce báite fliuch.
Péistín beag nach maireann
tithe anuas ón spéir
eadharainn atá sé cé aing [againn] a d’íosfeadh é.

Rug mé gréim i mo dhrad air
ach níor tháinig sé
Dubhán sáite i bhfastó ionaim
is mé ag taisteal suas san aer.
Thuas ar bharr na leice is ann a fágadh mé
mar a bheadh damhsa an bháis ann
is gan blogaim i mo bhéal.

Ronnach fágthaí ar bharr an áill.
Ronnach fágthaí ar bharr an áill.
Ronnach fágthaí ar bharr an áill.
Ronnach fágthaí ar bharr an áill.

Mo geolbhaigh ag triomú ag triomú leob go train
ag cuartú anáil uisce ach gan le fáil ach aer.
Ag sliobáil is ag slabáil is ag leimnú anoll is anall
anois dá bhfeadainn súil amach nach n-éireoidh liom go breá.

Ronnach fágthaí ar bharr an áill
Ronnach fágthaí ar bharr an áill
Ronnach fágthaí ar bharr an áill
Ronnach fágthaí ar bharr an áill

Snáimhainn céad míle sa taoile
á bhfágfaí ann mé.
Snáimhainn céad míle
ná maraigh mé.

Bróga sáilí arda, wellingtons, nó swede
síos le ceann le fánamh is ar ais aríst le mo mhate.
Ach ní shin atá i ndán dhom ach bás ar bharr an áill
????
ní bheidh ‘fhíos ‘am é go brách.

Snáimhainn céad míle sa taoile
á bhfágfaí ann mé.
Snáimhainn céad míle
ná maraigh mé.



The Mackeral Song

Out with my family
swimming against the current.
Not a puff of wind there
but soaking wet water.
A small dead worm
fallen down from the sky.
It’s a contest between us who will eat it.

I caught it in my mouth
but it didn’t come with me.
A [fish]hook speared through me
and I’m travelling through the air.
I was left on top of the flat rock
like I was doing the dance of death
without a mouthfull of water

A mackeral left on top of the cliff.
A mackeral left on top of the cliff.
A mackeral left on top of the cliff.
A mackeral left on top of the cliff.

My gills are drying, drying very quickly
searching for a breath of water but only finding air.
Jumping and throwing myself around
now if I could walk out wouldn’t I be doing well.

A mackeral left on top of the cliff.
A mackeral left on top of the cliff.
A mackeral left on top of the cliff.
A mackeral left on top of the cliff.

I would swim a hundred miles in the tide
if I was left there.
I would swim a hundred miles.
Don’t kill me.

High heel shoes, wellingtons, or swede [shoes]
going down the hill and back again with my mate.
But that is not my fate but death on top of the cliff
???
but I will never know it.

I would swim a hundred miles in the tide
if I was left there.
I would swim a hundred miles.
Don’t kill me.

I speak Connemara Irish, and my input will often reflect that.
I will do an mp3 file on request for short translations.

That list of Irish language songs isn't complete. There were a few more than that. Or maybe you already have the lyrics of the others.

This cringeworthy one is missing -
