    Ortha an dul amudha
    A Mhic an gcluin tú an gleo mór seo
    Atá in ar ndiadh sa ghleann.
    Ná bíodh faitcíos ort a mathair
    Sabhalfaidh ar nAthair sin
    Go mba dún daingean an dún seo a bhfuilmid ann.
    Go mba sluag dall an sluag tá nar ndiadh sa ghleann.
    Ard righ an domhain, ós tú fuair an eochar.
    Go scaraidh tú do chochaill tarainn
    Amen.
    Bhí ár slánuightheór ar a sheachnadh o na ?idaigh ag é féin agus a mháthair ag ?bhal sa gleann. Cualadh siad an tóir i ndiadh nuair a dubair síad seo.)

    Ortha in aghaidh cogaidh no in am contabhairt
    Soir, siar, ó dheas, o thuaidh
    Gaoi, grian, grineall, cruadhac
    Gurb é an dún daingean an ? seo a bfuilmid
    Gurb é an sluagh dall an sluag seo chugainn.
    Chríost, fuair ar dochar
    Go spréighidh tú do bhrat beannuighe tharainn.
