    Ní néart a cuir lé céile
    Gioruigeann an béirt an bóthar

    Coínnig an cnamh in dó lamh agus leánann an madádh thú

    An té nach cuíreann san Éarrach ní bánann sé sa Fóghmár

    Is máith an t-ánlan an t-ócras
    Is bínn béal na dtóst
    Taithnígeann an ciaróg an ciaróg eile amách
    Tá an firinne géarr
