    A Dhia céard a dhéanfas mé i mbarach
    Nuair a chifeas mé mo ghrádh a' dul aníar
    Gan neart agam seasamh i do lathair
    Le béadh a tháinig eadtrainn le bliadhain.
    Nuair a chuimnigheann ar smaoineamh ná ghaire (náire)
    Ná(r) ar imteacht an dá laimh a bhí fíal,
    Tuiteann lionn dubh 'san eolais
    Caoinfead go leor leor in do dhiaidh.
    D'éirigh mé ar maidín Dé Céadaoin
    Agus nior choisreach mé mo éadan, faraoir!
    Agus nuair a chuala mé bás mo chéad grádh
    Do sgioth mé an corr mhéar ón ailtin.
    IV
    Is fada chaith mé mo chosa gan bróga
    Agus is fada chaith mé mo phóca gan phingin,
    Agus is fada ó ól mé le mná óga
    Is ni(or) ól mé aon deor le mo béam (biam) (grádh)
    Ba dhúil dhom bothar an t-sagairt
    Agus ba dhúil dhom bheith ar bothar an ríogh
    Agus ba dhuil dhom a bheith ar aifreann Dia Domhnaogh
    Agus cailín deas donn lé mo thaobh.
