    An Phéacach (bó bhradaigh)
    1
    If you go to Achill
    Take the phéacach home with you
    in the boat
    This is the wish I put on her
    Never to return to this quarter.
    'Twas she left me without a stitch
    of clothes
    Nor a stocking on my foot
    She chewed the loom as well as the
    thread that was 'round it.
    11
    (Freagra) I will not let the Phéacach to Achill
    As long as I live,
    For it is there all my relations are
    And all that are alive belonging to me.
    There are shining blankets
    And tweeds plentiful in the place,
    And let themselves keep them
    When they were'nt able to colour the
    thread.
