Vair me oro van o,
''Chorus:''
Vair me oro van ee,
Bheir me o, horo van o
Vair me oru o ho,
Bheir me o, horo van ee
Sad am I without thee.
Bheir me o, o horo ho
Sad am I, without thee.


When I’m lonely, dear white heart,
When I’m lonely, dear white heart,
Black the night or wild the sea,
Black the night or wild the sea,
By love’s light my foot finds the old pathway to thee.
By love’s light my foot finds
the old pathway to thee.


Vair me oro van o,
''Chorus''
Vair me oro van ee,
Vair me oru o ho,
Sad am I without thee.


Thou’rt the music of my heart,
Thou’rt the music of my heart;
Harp of joy, o cruit mo chridh,
Harp of joy, o cruit mo chruidh;
Moon of guidance by night,
Moon of guidance by night;
Strength and light thou’rt me.
Strength and light thou’rt to me.


Vair me oro van o,
''Chorus''
Vair me oro van ee,
Vair me oru o ho,
Sad am I without thee.
