  1. Amhrán (continued)

    One day as I chanced for to road ¶ Is mo chaol-each agam-sa go groidhe

    (continued from previous page)
    I'll dress you in silks and fine clothes,
    Agus capall marcuiocta fé's Chuidhean,
    So make up your mind and come home,
    Agus mairfeam go bráth i dTráighli.
    IV
    I gave you, your answer before.
    Is is náireach an gnó dhuit mar slighe
    Deluding a maid of my sórt,
    Is is Baoghalach duit Daonaint síorruidhe
    So in order to begin the joke
    Is go mbeidh againn beannacht na Naomh
    The priest will make one of us both
    Agus mairfead go bráth i dTraghlí
