    Is fearr go mall ná go bráth
    Is glas na cnuic i bhfad uainn
    Ach má's glas ní féaramhail
    Luair ? maith agus geobhair ? maith
    Is fearr éan sa lámh ná beirt ar an chrann.
    Nodlaig ghlas, roilig mhéir
    Cuir síoda ar ghabhar agus gabhar i gcomhnuidhe é.
    Ní thig leat olann a bhaint de ghabhar
    An té nach bhfuil ciall aige beirfidh an saoghal ciall dó
    Sé do mhac do mhac indiu ach sí do nighean do nighean go deo
    Is beag ár sáin
    Is gairid ár seal
    agus tá Dia thuas go fóill
