    Níor bhfad ó o sean Cínn Mhara mé,
    Is glór na n-éan gan sgíth,
    Ag taisteal dom lá béalthaine,
    Go gchasadh ar mo shlighe,
    Mar dheadh, gur b'as an spéir amach,
    Do thuit an t-aingeal ann.
    Bhí cailín Gaolach géannmhail ann,
    Mo Róis Geal Fiáin.

    ' S sgeitheoigín le'ná taobh,
    A sgéimh geanaidhe ia a béal teannaidhe,
    Do mheallfadh gaois na naomh.
    A folt agus a mala ni h-iad bhuail mo croidhe tiomáin,
    Ach rosgha riagháltha caoimh-luisne,
    Mo Róis Geal Fiáin.
