Gaelic term or phrase: Éistigí, éistigí, cloisim arís é, ceol an ghrá

This is the first line of the Irish entry of the Eurovision Song Contest 1972. The ONLY Irish entry to be sung in Irish Gaelic. I have asked a couple of Irish friends of mine if they could translate it, but they couldn't. If you could translate the rest of it, I would be very grateful :o)

The whole song, goes as follows: -

Éistigí, éistigí, cloisim arís é, ceol an ghrá
'Seo nó ansúid dom, bíonn sé de shíor liom, ceol an ghrá
I lár na cathrach breá, cois abhainn nó é trá
Cloisim an tiún, is tú mo rún, sin ceol an ghrá

Éistigí, éistigí, cloisim arís é, ceol an ghrá
Canann an t-éinín é, casann an ghaoth dom é, ceol an ghrá
Maidin nó lár an lae, cloisim i gcónaí é
Éist leis an túin, is tú mo rún, sin ceol an ghrá

Seo Tír na nÓg is tá sciatháin in áit mo chos
Anois is go deo tá an sonas romham thall is abhus
Is tú mo chroí de lá is d'oích'
Is gach uile nóiméad de'm' shaol

Éistigí, éistigí, cloisim arís é, ceol an ghrá
'Seo nó ansúid dom, bíonn sé de shíor liom, ceol an ghrá
I lár na cathrach breá, cois abhainn nó é trá
Cloisim an tiún, is tú mo rún, sin ceol an ghrá

Éistigí, éistigí, cloisim arís é, ceol an ghrá
'Seo nó ansúid dom, bíonn sé de shíor liom, ceol an ghrá
I lár na cathrach breá, cois abhainn nó é trá
Cloisim an tiún, is tú mo rún, sin ceol an ghrá

I lár na cathrach breá, cois abhainn nó é trá
Cloisim an tiún, is tú mo rún, sin ceol an ghrá

Any help you can give me will be very much appreciated.
