Lyrics: English Translation:
   
A Pheadair, a aspail, an bhfaca tú mo ghrá geal? Peter, the apostle, have you seen my bright love?
Ochóne is ochóne ó Alas and alack
Chonaic mé ar ball é i láthair a namhad I saw him a while ago in the midst of his enemies
Ochóne is ochóne ó Alas and alack
   
Gabhaigi i leith, a dha Mhuire, go gcaoine sibh mo ghrá geal Come to me, you two Marys, and keen with me
Ochóne is ochóne ó Alas and alack
Ceard atá le caoineadh ágainn mura gcaoinimid a chriámha? What have we to keen without his bones?
Ochóne is ochóne ó Alas and alack
   
An é sin an maicin a hoileadh in ucht Mháire? Is that my child who I weened in my arms and nourished?
Ochóne is ochóne ó Alas and alack
Éist, a mháithrin, is na bí cráite Listen, little mother, do not be sorrowful
Ochóne is ochóne ó Alas and alack
   
A Leinbh, is mór é tualach is léig cuid de ar do Mháthair My love, big is your burden, let your mother help you carry it
Ochóne is ochóne ó Alas and alack
Iompruíodh gach éinne a chrosa, a Mháithrin Little mother, we each must carry our own cross
Ochóne is ochóne ó Alas and alack
