Ba dheas an la go oiche

Na glortha binne I mo thaobh

's aoibhneas I gach ait gan gruaim

Athas ar mo chroi go deo

He-a-ro

He-a-o-ro

Ma shiulaim o na laetha beo

An ghrian 's an ghealach ar mo chul

Nil uaim ach smaointe o mo shaoil

Deora ar mo chroi go bron

He-a-ro

He-a-ro

He-a-o-ro

[Translation]

It was beautiful all day

The sweet voices by my side

And beauty without dispair everywhere

Joy in my heart forever

He-a-ro

He-a-o-ro

If I walk from the alive days

The sun and the moon behind me

I'll only need thoughts from my life

Tears sorrowfully on my heart

He-a-ro

He-a-ro

He-a-o-ro
