A sea maid sings on yonder reef
The spell bound seals draw near
A lilt that lures beyond belief
Mortals enchanted hear
Coir an oir an oir an oir o
Coir an oir an oir an eer o
Coir an oir an oir an ee lalyuran
Coir an oir an oir an eer o
The wandering ploughman halts his plough
The maid her milking stays
And sheep on hillside, bird on bough
Pause and listen in amaze
Was it a dream? Were all asleep?
Or did she cease her lay?
For the seals with a splash dive into the deep
And the world goes on again
Yet lingers the refrain

Song of the seals A sea maid sings on yonder reef The spell bound seals draw near A lilt that lures beyond belief Mortals enchanted hear Coir an oir an oir an oir o Coir an oir an oir an eer o Coir an oir an oir an ee lalyuran Coir an oir an oir an eer o The wandering ploughman halts his plough The maid her milking stays And sheep on hillside, bird on bough Pause and listen in amaze Was it a dream? Were all asleep? Or did she cease her lay?
