Chorus:  
Is grá geal mo chroí thú You are the bright love of my heart
Fan liom i gconaí Stay with me always
Is grá geal mo chroí thú You are the bright love of my heart
Beith mise dílis Be true to me
Is grá geal mo chroí thú You are the bright love of my heart
Tusa mo mhuírín You are my sweetheart
Is grá geal mo chroí thú You are the bright love of my heart
Fan ar mo thaobh sa Stay by my side
   
Beauty and grace with golden hair
Eyes like pearls came from the sea
 
   
Wherever you will go, I will go
Wherever you will turn, I'll follow so
Take me to the Land of Youth
Three hundred years
 
   
(Chorus)  
   
Carried away on impulse
Followed my heart to the Land of Youth
 
   
Three hundred years and time stood still
Companions calling, there's warning
 
   
(Chorus)  
   
Three hundred years  
   
Fallen to earth, the thunder sound
Years overtake him, a gray old man
 
   
(Chorus)
