Here are the lyrics:

Hello, tú ann?
Mé smaoineamh théis na mblianta
Ar mhaith leat casadh liom?
Le ghoil siar ar chuile shórt
Deir siad go gcneasódh am mo phiansa
Ach, táimse fós ag fulaingt

Hello, gcloiseann tú mé?
Tá mé síoraí breathnú siar ar an gcaoi mbíodh rudaí linn
‘S muid chomh hóg agus saor
gCuimhin leat an gliondar sular thit an domhan mórthimpeall orainn?
Muid ‘nois chomh difriúil oná chéile
Is ait an mac an saol

Hello dhuit ag tíocht anall
Ó dheoraí grá atá faoi smál
Ag iarra’ tharla a chuir ina cheart
Ná habair riamh go bhfuil ar ngrá thart

Hello dhuit ón taobh thall
Na bí chomh fuar mar níl aon chall
Admháim mo chionnta
Ba ormsa an locht
Nach féidir tosú ón tús ‘ríst anocht

Le do thoil

Hello, ce chaoi bhfuil?
Gach rud coinní’ ‘stigh rófhada
Tá sé seo chomh deacair
In am bogadh ar aghaidh
Scaoil uait a tharla ná breathnaigh siar
Is fág i bhfad taobh thiar dhúinn
Ní haon rún é nach bhfuil ceachtar a’ainn i dTír na nÓg
