Eibhlín a rún, a rún mo chroí,
Is tú mhúirnín dílis,
Mo ghrá geal, mo chumann, mo rún,
tú mo réalt eolais.

Is fada liom oíche gan tú, a ghrá,
Is fuar an leaba 'tá mé,
Gan lámh thart timpeall orm, a rún,
Is gan do phóg le fáil.

Ní codlóidh mé anocht, a ghrá,
Ach ag smaoineamh ort,
Ar do ghruaig fhada bhuí,
Is do shúile gorma.

Eibhlín a rún, a rún mo chroí,
Is tú mo mhúirnín dílis,
Mo ghrá geal, mo chumann, mo rún,
Is tú mo réalt eolais.
