    Shíos i lag a' tsean-toighe tá an ghearr-chaile gruamdha,
    Agus leithead croidhe mo bhoise-sa de bhob i gclár a héadáin;
    Ní thuigeann sí mo chanamhaint agus ní labharaim léithse Béarla,
    'Sí mo annsacht an bhean dubh atá i ngleanntáin a' t-sléibhe.
    Shaoil mé gur cliú domh a bheith i gcaislean an ríogh istigh,
    Go bhfacaidh mé mo léine a deanamh gan aoibh domh
    Mo bhearad geal lín-éadaigh a shiobadh le gaoith díom,
    Agus mo daoine móra maithe uilig cruinn ar gach taoibh domh.
    Gluaisigidh ún mo thorraimh-sa tráthnóna Dia hAoine,
    Nó ar maidín Dia Domhnaigh fríd na boithre má's mian libh;
    Tiocfaidh Neillí agus Nóra agus mná óga na tíre
    Béidh mé ag éisteacht le 'nglórtaí faoi na fóide 's mé sínte.
