    And if you only saw him
    He really was astonishing
    A little timid sheepdog would quickly put him vanishing
    Ní raibh siubhal na slighe ann
    A chliabh is a croidhe greaduithe
    A chosa dulta i gcaoile,
    Agus a phíob do bhí atuighthe

    Those bleak and barren ranges of Claedheach they are horrible
    Though many a hundred acres there is scarce one acre arable
    Níl rioch(t) ach aiteann Gaodhlach, fraoch agus portacha
    Is dá mbeitheá amuigh déanac ba bhaoghal duit bheith gortuighthe

    His adventures when out there
    Will one day appear in history
    But how he got away
    Will forever remain a mystery
    Ní raibh ac sléibhte fiadhaine grádhna ann
    Tá gáta riamh do gruadh an dhá Chích
    D’fhág tuirseach bruighte cráidte
    Mo rábaire de gadhair breágh groidhe
    Curfá
