    Nach n-eiteochadh a'n deoraidhe fá dhídean,
    Na 'n gortach fá biadh na deoch
    Pór fiúntach fíor-rioghamhail Thír Chonaill
    Nár buaidheadh i gcomhrach ariamh
    A bhí i gcomhnuidhe ar thoiseach an bhriste
    Ag cosaint a gcreidimh sa tír.
    Tá sean-teanga uasal ár sinnsear
    Dá labhairt ann gach oidhche is lá,
    Tá ceol binn na mbárd ghá seinm
    Mar do bhí ann san aimsir fadó.
    Is minic do bhuail mé go croidheamhail
    An sean-rinnce gach oidhche annsin,
    Le cailín croidheamhail subhailceach
    Nach bhfaca mé a sárughadh ó shoin.
    Slán, slán leat, a ghleann bhig Sráith Chaisil,
    Céad slán le do thaoibh ghlais go deó,
    Ní féidir damh dearmad a dhéanamh
    De do mhuintear fhad is mhaireas mé beo.
    Go raibh sonas is séan ar do ghortaibh
    Go raibh subhaileach an Riogh i ngach cró
    Na go bhfillidh mé arais chun mo ghleann bhig
    Gan sgaramhaint arais na go deó.
