deora ar mo chroi

Ba dheas an la go oiche

Na glortha binne i mo thaobh

'S aoibhneas i gach ait gan gruaim

Athas ar mo chroi go deo

He-a-ro

He-a-o-ro



Ma shiulaim o na laetha beo

An ghrian 's an ghealach ar mo chul

Nil uaim ach smaointe o mo shaoil

Deora ar mo chroi go bron

He-a-o-ro

tears on my heart

It was beautiful all day [1]

The sweet voices by my side

And beauty without dispair everywhere

Joy in my heart forever

He-a-ro

He-a-o-ro



If I walk from the alive days

The sun and the moon behind me [2]

I'll only need thoughts from my life

Tears sorrowfully on my heart

He-a-ro

He-a-ro

He-a-o-ro



[Adaptation by Roma Ryan]



tears on my heart

How beautiful the day and night;

the earth is singing in the wind,

the voices rise and touch the sky

telling all the earth's believing,

and in the night sighs fall down,

and from the skies sighs fall down on me.



And when I move away from view

my voice is singing in the wind,

it rises up to touch the sky

telling all that I believe in,

and from the night earth shall sing,

and from the night earth shall sing,

and from the night earth shall sing again
