  1. Iolar Mór na Spáige - Amhrán

    Share Share Post
    Deirigh an t-iolar mór amach
    Ag cruinniugadh cuid na Casga
    Le féasta tabhairt don t-seabach
    ‘S. leoga chan le gradh air
    Thug sé sgéal an phobaill dobhtha
    Iad a bheith ar a ngárda
    Nach bhfuighfeadh seisean cearc aca.
    Ó Corcaigh go Dun Phádraig-
    Solfamuid sláinte na n-eánlaith
    II
    D’éirigh an chearc ba sine aca
    Amach ar chlaidhe an gháirde
    Is truagh nar ruaig an sionnach mé
    No iolar mór na spaige
    Sa cluiche nac bhfuigheann sé
    Cead a dúl na sráide
    Le mo grainin beag a piocadh
    Achan áit i bfuighinn ar lar é
    ‘S olfamuid sláinte na n-éanlaith.

    Tháinig an fhaoileann bán
    Anall as na tuaicheaill,
    Leoga mo tháinig féin
    Ní minic a bhi sí gruamdha
    Na cuirfeadh sise an coralan
    Comh binn leis na cuacha
