éist le mo chroí,(Listen to my heart)
Go brónach a choích(Sorrowful, alas)
Tá mé cailte gan tú
(I am lost without you)
's do bhean cheile.(And your wife)
An grá mór i do shaoil
(The great love in your life)
Threoraí sí me.(She guided me)
Bígí liomsa i gconaí(Be with me always)
Lá's oích.(Day and night)

Curfa:(Chorus:)
Ag caoineadh ar an uaigneas mór
(Lamenting the great loneliness)
Na deora, go brónach(The sorrowful tears)
Na gcodladh ins an uaigh ghlas chiúin
(Asleep in the quiet green grave)
Faoi shuimhneas, go domhain(In a deep peace)

Aoibhneas a bhí(There was happiness)
Ach d'imigh sin(But that departed)
Sé léan tú(It was he who followed you)
Do fhear cheile.(Your husband)
An grá mór i do shaoil(The great love in your life)
Threoraí sé mé.(He guided me)
Bígí liomsa i gconaí(Be with me always)
Lá's oích.(Day and night)

Curfa:(Chorus)
Ag caoineadh ar an uaigneas mór
(Lamenting the great loneliness)
Na deora, go brónach(The sorrowful tears)
Na gcodladh ins an uaigh ghlas chiúin
(Asleep in the quiet green grave)
Faoi shuimhneas, go domhain(In a deep peace)

Smaointe, ar an lá(I think of the day)
Raibh sibh ar mo thaobh
(That you were beside me)
Ag inse scéil(Telling a story)
Ar an dóigh a bhí(Of the old life)
Is cuimhin liom an lá(I remember the day)
Gan gha's gan ghruaim
(Without want and without gloom)
Bígí liomsa i gconaí(Be with me always)
Lá's oích.(Day and night )
