Lyrics:
Do ghlanas mo chroí anocht,
Amhail mhnaoi a ghlanfadh a teach,
Roimh theacht dá leannán dá fios;
a leannáin, ná téirigh thart.
Do leathas doras mo chroí
Amhail fhear a dhéanfadh fleá,
Ar theacht i gcéin dá Mhac:
A Mhic is álainn do theacht.
Translation:
My heart has been cleansed tonight,
Like a woman who would cleanse her house,
Before her lover comes to see her;
My lover, do not pass by.
The door of my heart has been opened wide,
Like a man who would make a feast,
On the arrival of his Son from afar:
My Son, how beautiful is your arrival.
