A lot of Irish Gaelic songs were written to the tunes of Scottish songs. Trasna na nDonnta is one such song, written to the air of Westering Home. The Gaelic version is attributed to Tomás Tóibín in Amhránleabhar Ógra Éireann. The lyrics, which express the same sentiments as Westering Home, but are not a direct translation, are as follows :

                Chorus :
Trasna na dtonnta, dul siar, dul siar
Slán leis an uaigneas is slán leis an gcian,
Geal é mo chroí, agus geal í an ghrian,
Geal bheith ag filleadh go hÉireann.

Chonac mo dhóthain de thíortha i gcéin,
Ór agus airgead, saibhreas an tsaoil,
Éiríonn an croí 'nam le breacadh gach lae
'S me ag druidim le dúthaigh mo mhuintir

                Chorus

Muintear an Iarthair 'siad cáirde mo chroí,
Fáilte is féile beidh romham ar gach taobh.
Ag fágaint an tsaoil seo, 'sé guidhim ar an Rí,
Gur leosan a sínfear i gcill mé

                Chorus.
