Lyrics:

Thíos i lár an ghleanna
Tráthnóna beag aréir
Agus an drúcht 'na dheora geala
Ina luí ar bharr an fhéir
'S ea casadh domhsa an ainnir
Ab áille gnúis is pearsa
'S í sheol mo stuaim chun seachráin
Tráthnóna beag aréir

Agus a Rí, nár lách ár n-ealaín
'Gabháil síos an gleann aréir
Ag éalú fríd an chanach
Agus ciúineas ins an spéir
A rún mo chléibh nár mhilis
Ár súgradh croí 's nár ghairid
Ó 's a Rí na glóire gile
Tabhair ar ais an oíche aréir

Dá bhfaighinnse arís cead pilleadh
Agus labhairt le stór mo chléibh
Nó dá bhrfaighinnse buaidh ar chinniúint
Cér mhiste liom fán tsaol?
Shiúlfainn leat fríd chanach
Is fríd mhéilte ar chiumhais na mara
Agus dúiche Dé dá gcaillfinn
Go bpógfainnse do bhéal

Agus a Rí, nár lách ár n-ealaín
'Gabháil síos an gleann aréir
Ag éalú fríd an chanach
Agus ciúineas ins an spéir
A rún mo chléibh nár mhilis
Ár súgradh croí 's nár ghairid
Ó 's a Rí na glóire gile
Tabhair ar ais an oíche aréir

-English translation- ('Late Yesterday Evening')

Down in the middle of the glen, late yesterday evening
And there were white drops of dew lying on top of the grass
I met a maiden who had the prettiest face and personality
She made my good sense go astray late yesterday evening

And, God, how pleasant our behavior was going down the glen last night
Stealing through the cotton-grass and there was silence in the sky
Love of my heart, wasnt our heart-playing sweet and short
Oh, King of the bright glory, bring back last night

If I got permission to return and to speak to the love of my heart
Or if I got the better of destiny, what would I care about life?
Id walk with you through cotton-grass and through dunes by the edge of the sea
And Gods land Id lose if I could kiss your mouth

And, God, how pleasant our behavior was going down the glen last night
Stealing through the cotton-grass and there was silence in the sky
Love of my heart, wasnt our heart-playing sweet and short
Oh, King of the bright glory, bring back last night

From an O'Byrne in America, Maria sings to the deepest part of the Irish soul, whether found in Erin or abroad. Our common language and culture survives in each of us and we are reminded of our heritage in great beauty such as this.
