    Na Buachaille Cruaidh.
    Mé ag gábhail siar ó dheas go tadhramh preas.
    Seadh casadh isteach am aonar
    Chun tigh na marbhú seadh labhair sí go cruaidh.
    Agus straich sí an ghruaig go leir díom.

    Sé dubhairt fear a tighe i eirigh na shuidhe
    A chaillig shuid shios agus déon staid
    Mar imthéocadh a greann ar nos cumair na h-abain
    Agus na buachaillí h-ar Leamhain ní baoghal duit.

    A buachaille cruaidh gealla go luath
    Agus buailead úr guaileann le céile
    For baineann na smásach amach as na bruaideag
    Agus go dtugaid fein iad tá siad a rádh
    Na maraimíd na lá deis na bhuraig atá lán den fóghmhair.
    Suidh ní cosmaid iad atá ach ag Mhac Mhuire na grásta
    Agus go dtugaidh Dia slán ón Fógmhair sinn.
