Trasna na dTonnta
"" (; "Across the Waves") is a traditional Irish song often taught to primary school children. It has the same tune as the 20th century Scottish song "Westering Home". The upbeat song is a narration of a rover who is returning to Ireland following his travels abroad. The song originates from the Gaoth Dobhair area of County Donegal. The name of the song has been co-opted and used as the title for the newsletter of the Irish sea kayaking association. Lyrics. Irish version. <poem> Translation of the Irish. <poem>
