    “Dá mBeadh Cúpla Bóin Bainne agam nach Deas do Sheolfainn iad”

    Share Share Post
    Dá mbeadh cúpla bóín bainne agam nach deas do sheolfainn iad
    Níor b'fhearr áit da seólfainn iad na isteach go h-Inis Níadh.
    Is ann do casadh an óigbhean dom 's sin í chroch mo chroidhe.
    Ach ní raibh mé buidheach dá máthair faoí mo cailín fearamhail fíonn.
    A stóirín ná bíodh brón ort, tuirse ná briseadh croidhe.
    Ná cuireadh aon cheó ar bith ort ach aer is sport an tsaoghail.
    Dá mbadh agam-sa a bhfuil de'n ór buidhe i bpálás an ríogh.
    Do mó chailín féin do-bhéurainn é, mar níl aon bhean mar í.
    Is truagh nach bhfuil mé i Sasana nó in mo ceannuidhe snáth.
