[English Lyrics]

[Verse 1]
Éist le mo chroí
Go brónach a choích
Tá mé caillte gan tú
‘s do bhean cheile
An grá mór i do shaoil
Threoraí sí me
Bígí liomsa i gconaí
Lá’s oích

[Chorus]
Ag caoineadh ar an uaigneas mór
Na deora, go brónach
Na gcodladh ins an uaigh ghlas chiúin
Faoi shuaimhneas, go domhain

[Verse 2]
Aoibhneas a bhí
Ach d’imigh sin
Sé léan tú
Do fhear cheile
An grá mór i do shaoil
Threoraí sé mé
Bígí liomsa i gconaí
Lá’s oích

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
Ag caoineadh ar an uaigneas mór
Na deora, go brónach
Na gcodladh ins an uaigh ghlas chiúin
Faoi shuaimhneas, go domhain

[Verse 3]
Smaointe, ar an la
Raibh sibh ar mo thaobh
Ag inse sceil
Ar an doigh a bhi
Is cuimhin liom an la
Gan gha 's gan ghruaim
Bigi liomsa I gconai
La 's oich'
