    Sruthán sidhe dom go mall sun oidhche,
    Gus deir mo daoine uilig gur bréag dom é.
    fhírinn' Ach dhar mhiain an bpiobla gus a dtabhairt i- mbeirn
    Gur chaith mé an oidhche le pleasúr.
    Bhí togha gach bidhe unn agus rogha gac dighe ann
    Soitigh fiona ann dá réabadh
    Na daoine saolta go gcuireadh iongnadh
    San culaith sidhe a bhí ar Meadbh

    Suidh síos agus chaith an féasta
    Is fearr ar bhainis go mór na ar toramh
    Ní'l do ghrádhse i- mBuilinn Árda
    Ach bean beag fhanach a fágadh aréir ann.

    Ní fhéadaim falaighe mór a deanamh
