    “Cuirim-se ruaig agus slinn ar Árainn”

    I
    Cuirim-se ruaig agus slinn ar Árainn;
    Indiú a choidhche nó go dtí lán an Bhráige,
    Sí thug uaim-se na trí feara bréagtha a ba deise i méid agus a b'fhearr i nádúr,
    Rinneadh an scairteach mhór thiar i n-Árainn ag iarraidh o rainn na cladaigh fhágail,
    Imthighigidh sibhses na sibh atá sáiriighthe
    Ní chorróchaidh muid inne go raibh lucht de'n leathach linn.
    Shílmid féin sin go rabh muid láidir agus go ndeánfaimís builidheacht amach an lá sin.
    Ach bhí an sruth róthréan agus an ghaoth mór láidir agus nuair a tháinig an plúchadh níor léar dúinn Árainn.

    A Dhomhnaill Ruaidh bhoicht, a dheartháir dhíls nach dtáinig an t-am duit-se an pósadh a dhéanamh.
    Nach méanáir don mhnaoi óig a bhfuil do phóg i ndán dí, agus nach h-iomdha bean óg do dhiaidh-se cráidhte.
    A Dhomhnaill Uí Ghallchobhair nach trua leat an scéal seo a tháinig chugat le bánú an lae
    Fá do mhac bréagh dóigheamhail a bhí múinte céillidhe agus fios nó a thuairisc le fághail i n-Éirinn.
