| Lyrics : | English Translation : |
| Mise ag faire san oíche | I'm keeping watch in the night |
| San oíche fada chiúin | In the long, quiet night |
| Tusa id' luí id' leaba | You're asleep in your bed |
| Id' chodladh fada suan | In a long, soft sleep |
| D'imigh tú trasna na tonnta uaim | You went over the waves, away from me |
| Is ní maith liom 'bheith anseo liom féin | And I don't like being here alone |
| Tusa mo ghealach 's mo grian i bhfad i gcéin | You are my moon and my sun, far away |
| Uaigneas, gan blaiseadh do bhéilín meala | Loneliness, without the taste of your lips of honey |
| Is áilleacht gheal do ghnúis | And the bright beauty of your face |
| Mise ag feitheamh gan chiall led' theacht | I foolishly await your return |
| Agus mé ag sileadh súl | And my tears fall |
| Tusa id' leaba shíoraí anocht | You're in your eternal bed tonight |
| Faoi chré 'tá dorcha dlúth | Under clay, dark and dense |
| Glaoim anocht is gach oíche ort | I call to you tonight and every night |
| Fill ar ais arís, a rún | Return again, my love |
| Sinne a bheidh scartha ón a chéile anois go buan | We will now be separated from each other forever |
