    Lorg an ghalair bhric ar a taobh shiar
    Lorg an ghalair sgrath i gcúl a cinn.
    Agus milleadh bróige ar a gurrúin
    Leasbach in a ladhara - gruag shíoda dhonn oirthi.
    Mar bheadh ar fhighideoir nó ar chóisteoir.
    Í lom luath, na rathaidh mhaith.
    Dúil mhór i dteas agus i dteinidh aicí
    Agus sgalagaidh móra tobaca aicí.
    Lean mé féin i go teoir Bhalapaigh
    Agus go teoir Bhaile na Colpaigh
    Go Kinnegad agus go cumar ghualraic.
    Lean mé aríst fríd na fiachra í
    Agus go tuath lios bhaile chéirín
    Lean mé aríst un a h-abhna Ruaidh í
    Iono gur lagadh ar mo chostas mé
    Agus go mbéigín na ceithre mhála fichid a chur suas,
    Mar tá :- Mála an mhuineil, mála an t-slinnein, an
    scutch mhála, an slios mhála. Mála na h-éile.
    An Receiver, agus an Butterbox. Mainge na
    h-eorna, agus an woolpack, an Bricire, agus
    an sticire, agus an penny-come-quick.
    Go isteach in mo mhála pearsannach, agus an cruascar.
    Slán [?]ollain agaibh- bunadh an tigh seo.
    Tógadh an sean ramas - deilín na mbacach as coip leabhar Mháirín Níc Grianra - paisde ins an 7adh Rang, agus fuair sise é ó na h-athair mór - Torlach Mac Aoidh, Leac Chonaill, Árdaratha.
    Tá Torlach fa thuairim 83 bliadhna de aois anois.
