    Dá mbéinn-se thiar ach aniar a thiocfainn
    Ar an gcnoc ab'aoirde ba mhian liom seasamh
    'Sé créabhóg n-a n-ubhall ba thuisge a chraithfinn
    'Sé mo ghrádh féin go cinnte leanfainn
    Brón ar an ngrádh is mairg a thug é
    Do mhac na mná údaigh aríamh nár thuig é
    Mo chroidhe in mo lár gur fhágaibh sé dubh é
    Agus ní fheicim ar an t-sráid ná i n-áit ar bith é

    Tá mo chroidhe-se chamh dubh le áirne
    Ná le gual a buailfidhe i
