  1. Amhrán na bhFataí Dubha

    Amhrán na bhFataí Dubha
    Míle slán leis na bhfataí bána
    Ba suagh an áit a bheith in aice leo
    Ba fáltach sruadhach iad ag teach an láthair
    Iad ag gáire linn ag ceann an bhuird.
    Ba chabhair don malrach iad
    don gár is don gárlach
    Don lag is don láidir
    Don óg is don chríonn
    Ach fáth mo dhochair
    Gur lobh na fataí gan sioc gan síon
    Sé mo dhiabhal deacrach is mo ghalra dubh chroidhe
    Ná fataí dúbhchain ins gach ceárd don domhan
    Go bhfuil an gas críona searacuighthe
    Ón gcéad lá Lughnasa gan blas ná snuagh ortha
    Ach mar a bheadh faoi Shamhain
    Nach é seo an sgéal dubh chrooidhe ag teacht don fhóghmhar
    Brón dúinn is briseadh croidhe
    An bheatha a chleacht muid i dtús a' n-óige
    Bheadh lobhtha deortha gan mhaith gan bhrígh
    Ba iad ár ngarda iad ó am ár gcliabhán
