    Sean amhran gaedhilge.
    I
    Smaoiteadh a rinn mé in m’ intinn
    Agus lean mé do go cinnte
    Go n-éalochainn ó mo mhuinnur
    ‘S go rachainn ‘un oileann Uir
    II
    Shiúbhail mé dhá chéad míle
    ‘S níor casadh orm daoine.
    Caora, bó nó capall
    A dheánfadh inigilt arfhéar.
    III
    Sléibhte móra ‘s gleanntain,
    Búifreach beithigh allta.
    Fir a’s mná ‘s gan tainnt orthu
    A chasfa fa do mhéir
    IV
    Shiúbhail mé isteach idigh bhig,
    ‘S casadh orm daoine,
    ‘S labhair siad liom go síodamhail
    “Carb as thú ‘bhuachaill óig?”
    V
    Labhair siad liom i mBéarla
    ‘S d’fhreagair mé iad i nGaedhilg
    Gur tógadh mé in Éirinn
    I mbaile Leas me lone?. (atha luain- is dóiche)
