If you follow the advice above you'll find a link to http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Parthenon/8998/ceol.html where you will find a translation of most of the verses of the version Micheál Ó Dómhnaill sings. In one of the other threads you'll find a rough and ready translation by me of MÓD's first verse.

In the second line of the last verse ('S do Dhéanfainn obair shocair ... on the site linked to above) MÓD sings
"Is sheolfainn na nGamna ar an dtalamh is seibhre a bhfaighidís féir" which translates roughly as "I'd direct the calves to the richest land where they'd find grass".

If I get the time I'll try to post the version as Mícheál sings it to the main thread on this.
