    Agus feach air na páiste óg fágtha
    Níl saoghal fada ndán dóibh féín.

    Sin deatach ag eirige i nairde
    San áit atá an t-ár ar siubhal
    Nach iomda long beag báidhte
    Ó Málata síos go dtí an Suez
    Tá an Bhreatain Mhoir cumhachtach ag réabadh

    Is dá dtrian de na daoine faoi an bhfód
    Cloisfear an bhean ag béiciuch
