Lyrics:

h-Ó Abha-ínn, h-Ó Abha-ínn, h-Ó Abha-ínn, mo gradh
h-Ó Abha-ínn, mo leanbh agus codail go lá.

h-ó Abha-ínn, mo leanbh is h-Ó Abha-ínn, mo ghreann
'S h-Ó Abha-ínn mo leanbh go moch is go mall.

Agus d'imthigh mo mhama le tuile tragha,
Agus ní fhuil fhios agam cé h-í.

h-Ó Abha-ínn, h-Ó Abha-ínn, h-Ó Abha-ínn, my love,
h-Ó Abha-ínn, my baby and sleep until day.

h-Ó Abha-ínn,, my baby and h-Ó Abha-ínn, my joy
And h-Ó Abha-ínn my baby both early and late.

And my mama left with the tide,
And I do not know where she is.
