Curfá: Chorus (after each verse):
Bheir mi óró 'bhean ó Bheir mi óró 'bhean ó
Bheir mi óró, ó 'bhean í Bheir mi óró, ó 'bhean í
Bheir mi óró ó hó Bheir mi óró ó hó
'S mé tá brónach 's tú im dhíth Sad and lonely you're not here
   
'S iomaí oíche fliuch is fuar Many cold and wintery nights
Thug mé cuairt is mé liom féin All alone I travelled far
Nó go ráinig mé san áit 'Til at last I reached the place
Mar a raibh grá geal mo chléibh Where I found my dearest love
   
I mo chláirseach ní raibh ceol There was no music in my heart
I mo mheoraibh ní raibh brí No strength flowed from my mind
No gur luaigh tú do rún 'Til your secret you revealed
'S fuair mé eolas ar mo dhán And at last I knew your thoughts
