    Máire mo ghrádh
    Nach deas ar bharr an t-sléibhe nuair a bhíos an ngrían ag éirighe
    Níl duibhtean ins an spéir, ná níl gangaid ins an ghaoith
    Cá luachra fada is cíb agus sraitheanna breagha mínlígh
    Agus ní baoghal dhúinn a coidche
    Go rácaidh ár gcuid chun fáin.

    Believe it my dear Mary, if God is in your favour
    You’ll have no hesitation but come along with me
    Your house it is preparin’ and soon will be completed
    In that lovely place where they call the Valley green.

    A Mhaire ta díchéille ort mara dughidh tú chun an t-shléibhe
    Ins an áit a mbím go h-aerach is na sléibhte ar beagan cíos (cín)
    Cá do theach dá dheanaimh agus róma geal in a éadan
    Is dá mbéinnse beo na céadta bliadhain
