    An áit a mbíonn toit bíonn teine, an áit a mbíonn teine bíonn teas, an áit a mbíonn teas bíonn mná, agus an áit a mbíonn mná bíonn geab

    Cualaidh mé iad seo ó mo mháthair mhóir.

    An áit a mbíonn toit bíonn teine, an áit a mbíonn teine bíonn teas, an áit a mbíonn teas bíonn mná, an áit a mbíonn mna bíonn geab.
    Cam díreach an ród sé an bealach mór an aithghiorra
    Is glas iad na cnuic i bhfad ar siubhail agus chan féar uilig iad
    Níor dhruid Dia doras ariamh nar fhosgail sé ceann eile
    Is trom cearc i bhfad
    Nodlaig ghlas roilig mhéith
    An té a bhuailtear 'san cheann bíonn eagla air
    Már tchídh an leanbh ghnídh an leanbh
    Thig ciúineas indiaidh stoirme
    Sodhar indiaidh na h-uaisle
    An té nach bhfuil ciall aige bhéarfaidh an saoghal ciall dó
    Is beag orm cál gan salann
