Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Súil ghorm, uisce fómhair
Craiceann chailce, sneachta gheimhridh
Folt fonn, corna shamhraidh
Cumha póige, bláth an earraigh
 
   
Your blue eyes, autumn water
Pure white skin like winter snow
Your fair hair, summer barley
Scented kisses, spring flowers
 
   
Ar imeall na mara On the edge of the sea
A ghluais muid le chéile We moved together
Is thóg muid ár nglórthai And we lifted our voices
Go hárd leis na spéartha High into the sky
   
Ceo maidne, séidéan gaoithe
Anam saortha, sruth 's taoide
Gealach iomlán, spéar na hoiche
Loinnear réalta, aoibh an gháire
 
   
Your smile shines through the morning mist
Lifts the soul light as a feather
And the moon glows in the darkest night
Distant stars are yours forever
 
   
Ar imeall na mara On the edge of the sea
A ghluais muid le chéile We moved together
Is thóg muid ár nglórthai And we lifted our voices
Go hárd leis na spéartha High into the sky
   
Súil ghorm, uisce fómhair
Craiceann chailce, sneachta gheimhridh
Folt fonn, corna shamhraidh
Cumha póige, bláth an earraigh
