    Sé lúan an tsléibhe lainne, léan sgrios.
    Luan é is iomadh faoi gruam
    Tuitheann t-aer anuas ar féar glas
    Lasann spéar - spear úr ghá dhóghadh
    Ar an darna buille an sciuth ba áidhbheil
    Beidh gach éin dhá bhfuil marbh beó
    Beidh gach anam glé-geal ins gach colann bréagach
    O Sliabh na Gloisigh go Sliabh na mBan

    Isligh anuas, a pheachadh, truaigh do'n ár gcruaidh no tá ar tall
    Is minic a luadhamar Mac Dé go h-uaibhreach is gan do chuid sin.
    Tiocfaidh fiú de seo dul i n-úire
    Is an bhrisigh rúinn as reibh ar chill
    Beidh gach anam glé-geal ins gach colann bréagach
    O Sliabh na Gloisigh go Sliabh na mban

    Tré rádh na n-aoinneach a dtiofaidh mé treanasach
    Nach raibh dom beann mo cumacht go fuacht na sleibhte
    Na cathair maoilreach, acht amhain
    Síl ceil ciall asail ruaidh.
    Siubhalfaidh mé sléibhte ar brighidh go léír leac
    Do sa bhfuil ar Herod is mé luigh an t-siubhal
    O Mathair glé-geal tá do cian déanta
    beir leat i m'eadan cuartú an domhain.
