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