    An Bunán Buidhe

    (I)

    A Bhunáin Bhuidhe, 'sé mo leun do luigh,
    Do chnamha sioctha ar leacha' lom;
    'S ní dheárn tú a'n nidh nó a'n dolaidh ins an tsaoghal
    'S níor bhfeárr leat fíon nó uisce an phuill.
    Bhí rós an riogh 'gabhail fríd do chroidhe
    le h-iomad díoslacht do'n Ghaedheal 's do'n Ghall
    Ag gach bórd dá mbím, is mé ag ól an fhíon,
    Cé gur dhorcha an oidhche, ní dheánfainn a'n mhoill

    (II)

    Dá gcuirfea préaba fá mó dhéin-sa,
    Nuair a bhí tú i bpéin, bhéinn 'mo rith
    Go mbrisfinn béim ar Loch Mhic n'Éin
    A fhliucfadh do bhéal a's do chorp istoigh.
    Ach maille leóil ! 'sé mó mhíle brón
    Gur b'aoirde do thóin go mór nó do cheann
    Dá mbéidhinn-se i gceó nó fá mhíle do
    Go ndeánfainn eólas le do linn
