  2. Éan bocht scoithte mé le fada o chaill mé mo cul bharra,
    Teach fárois no caraid níl romham ar na beallaigh.
    Chá truagh le neach mar atá mé,
    Ach mo sé éág mo charaid a sheoil me 'un seachráín,
    Is d'fhag me scoithte mar ta mé.
    A Rí! atá ar neamh lughadh tú sgamaill,
    Is go seolfaidh tú thar béal tragha mé.

    Mar éan ar an chraobh na seabhach ach chlaoidhe,
    A bíos mo chroidhe-se gan amhras.
    Mo (racht) le gaoith a shiubhalfeadh an saoghal
    Is beirfeadh scríobh is gleann léithe.
