  1. Amhrán Gairihill

    Share Share Post
    Tá míle fáilte ag fear'b fáilinn, ni aon oidhche amhain acht ar feadh na seachtmhaine.
    Tá ceannuigh bán anuas ón G-cláirinn.
    Ag déanamh fhearas in-aice Gairihill.
    Tá greann is pleasúr ag éanach in - Éirinn
    Tá lán na miosa go gors's do airgiad.
    Níl sé ins an áit seo in oidhbhir m-breabaidh.
    Ba cúin na láige 'na gheobfá in n-Gairihill.
    Tá tighthe mór ann tá daoine cómhortan.
    Tá grisaidhe bróg ins gach uile teach aca.
    Bhí Tomás O Crionna nuair a bhuail sé ar na
    daoine nach g-cuirfidh aon oidhche arís
    fearg air, bhí m-bréag deas ar na polla bána,
    Go mile b'fearr leis an bean as Gairihill.
    Níl mé sásta le scrubán béal a cláir
    An Goltasin Greanna seo a pósaidh a dhinfháil Gairihill
    Bhris siad a chár ar an n-athar Padraig,
    cuir sé an fhear mhór ar muintir.
