Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Sioscadh na farraige, go fuinniúil slán Murmur of the sea in a lively exchange
Ag plé rúindiamhracha le glór na Teiscinne On matters sacred to the Grand Ocean
Fonn na mara a' comhcheol le fonn thú a fheiceáil Sound of the waves, harmonies to my desire to see you
Ceol binn mo mhian, a ghlór thar sáile Sweet music of my yearning for you, voice from beyond
   
Thar bhruach toinne ar ghaineamh mín By wave edge on silky sand
Cloisim do ghlór thar sháile na mblianta Your voice I hear beyond the salty years
Ag rá gurb é do mhian a theacht go dtí m'oileán Saying you wish to visit my island
'Spáin dom na hoileán, 'spáin dom mo dhaoine Show me the isles, show me my people
   
Tá draíocht do mo tharraingt go dtí ríochta osnádúrtha A spell draws me to the reaches beyond my ken
Fáilte romhat, a ghlór thar sáile, tá an bád ar tí seoladh Welcome, voice from beyond, the boat is ready to sail
Oscail do mheabhair más mian leat fanacht Open your mind if you wish to stay
Is leatsa ar fad an áit seo, Oileán na Teiscinne This place is all yours, the Isle of Teiscinn
