Ar do ghruaig fhada bhuí,
Is tú mo réalt eolais.
Is tú mo mhúirnín dílis,
Is fuar an leaba 'tá mé,
Mo ghrá geal, mo chumann, mo rún,
Is ar do shúile gorma.
Is tú mo mhúirnín dílis,
Eibhlín a rún, a rún mo chroí,
Is gan do phóg le fáil.
Mo ghrá geal, mo chumann, mo rún,
Gan do lámh thart timpeall orm, a rún,
Is tú mo réalt eolais.
Ach bheith ag smaoineamh ort,
Eibhlín a rún, a rún mo chroí,
Ní codlóidh mé anocht, a ghrá,
Is fada liom oíche gan tú, a ghrá,
