    a mbeidh naoí gunna móra ;gus fiche ar a thaobh
    Núair a bhéadóchas an stoirm is ardóchas an fheochan
    'S núair a bhéas na seólta i riocht stróidthe uilig leis an ngaoith.

    A Shorcha ba maith liom da dtrionuigheadh do dheóra
    Ná bíodh ort-sa brón ná brisead ar bith croidhe
    Nil mise marbh na mo cnámhaibh uilig leonta
    Is cífear go fóill mé ag tríall chun do thíghe.
    Má ta mise ar an gcarraig tuirseach lag brónach,
    Ag amoaineadh ar mo stóirim o maidin go fhaoith,
    Nuair a rachad cun calaidh suibhalfad go crodha
    Is teanfad mo stóirín isteach lé mo chroidhe.

    Thúas i mbárr an baile núair a chruinnéochas na ndaoine
    Béidh agam-sa síamsa agus aiteas lé n-ól
    Beidh greann agus aiteas ar fhidil is piobaibh.
    Is aon og na dtíre ag deanamh a gcuid spóirt
    Béidh stiolan in a suidhe is na gloine aige líonta
    'S'a lámha thart timceall a mna ar is coir
    Ní híad a phocaí ta folamh mar is feasach na daoine.
    'S ní caithfidh sé choidhche leath a chuid óir.
