Amhrán (continued)
“Dá mbeadh buachaillín deas ag Síghle ¶ Ní phósfadh sí me mar fhear”
(continued from previous page)Ní leogfadh sí di ló ná is d-oidhche mise do thogha mar fhear
Dheir sí go n-ólfainn a thuille
Is na ndéanfainn di tigheas ná sleacht
Ac gur gaige fuar folamh díomhaoin me
Ní dheanfinn cúram do claínn na beanIII
Tá máthair gan tais ag Síghle
Is ní brathann sí puinn dá slad
Mar tá spiorán mór fada aici líonta
Is í ag lorg talamh gan cíos le fear
Ba chuma leí óg é no críona
Ba chuma leí cam é nó direach
Ach go mbheadh aige caoirig is baIIII
Tá mo mharghad socair le Síghle
Is ní brisfeadh é ar Éire ar fad
Gan buidheachas dá máthair is dá mhúinntir
Ragaidh sé chun cinn gan stad
Pósaim sa cathair an mí seo
Is díolfam an sagart go maith
Is ní dóighthe dhúinn fanmhaint sa tír seo
Ná imteacht thar sáile ar fad.
