| Lyrics : | English Translation : |
| Ní minic a chuimhním anois ort | 'Tisn't often I think of you these days |
| Ach inniú lá do bhreithe | But today on your birthday |
| Braithim uaim ceirnín do ghutha | I miss the record of your voice |
| Gona h-aorian clamhsáin | With its one-track of complaining |
| Is do chroí athláimhe | And your second-hand heart |
| Gona chlúdach stróicthe | With its torn cover |
| Dialaim dúnta do mhothúchán | The closed collection of your feelings |
| Curfá : | Chorus : |
| D'fhanas deich neomat ar shráid an chloig | I waited ten minutes on the street of the clock |
| Ag comhaireamh neomat ar neomat | Counting minute by minute |
| Go doicheallach stuacach a máirseáil tharam | Grudgingly, stuck upedly marching past me |
| Ar shála árda ar shráid an chloig | On high heels on clock street |
| Ceolann an bháisteach fonn deor | The rain plays a tear-tune |
| A éilíonn focail | That calls for words |
| Is mo scórnach slóchta ag slaghdán | And my throat choked with a cold |
| Níl nóta im' cheann | There isn't a note in my head |
| Is a chroí aonphoirt | And oh my heart of the one tune |
| Gona mhéara aclaí | With its athletic fingers |
| Chughainn arís séasur foghlama | Here we go again with the learning season |
| (Curfá 2x) | (Chorus 2x) |
