Lyrics : Ceol An Ghra

Éistigí, éistigí, cloisim arís é, ceol an ghrá
'Seo nó ansúid dom, bíonn sé de shíor liom, ceol an ghrá
I lár na cathrach breá, cois abhainn nó é trá
Cloisim an tiún, is tú mo rún, sin ceol an ghrá

Éistigí, éistigí, cloisim arís é, ceol an ghrá
Canann an t-éinín é, casann an ghaoth dom é, ceol an ghrá
Maidin nó lár an lae, cloisim i gcónaí é
Éist leis an túin, is tú mo rún, sin ceol an ghrá

Seo Tír na nÓg is tá sciatháin in áit mo chos
Anois is go deo tá an sonas romham thall is abhus
Is tú mo chroí de lá is d'oích'
Is gach uile nóiméad de'm' shaol

Éistigí, éistigí, cloisim arís é, ceol an ghrá
'Seo nó ansúid dom, bíonn sé de shíor liom, ceol an ghrá
I lár na cathrach breá, cois abhainn nó é trá
Cloisim an tiún, is tú mo rún, sin ceol an ghrá

Éistigí, éistigí, cloisim arís é, ceol an ghrá
'Seo nó ansúid dom, bíonn sé de shíor liom, ceol an ghrá
I lár na cathrach breá, cois abhainn nó é trá
Cloisim an tiún, is tú mo rún, sin ceol an ghrá

I lár na cathrach breá, cois abhainn nó é trá
Cloisim an tiún, is tú mo rún, sin ceol an ghrá
