    An Cailín Aerach
    I
    Maidin Domhnaigh tréis Aifreann d'éisteacht
    Chuadhmar isdeach i dtig Neillí Payfield,
    Bhí bóda bhualadh, is ól a glaodhach ann,
    Is bhí 'nár dteannta an Cailín Aerach!
    Curfá
    'San didil didl, dioró, didil didl, déró,
    Didil didl, diró, didil didl, déró,

    Rio didil, dioró did dal deró.

    Thángamar abhaile go tuirseach traochta,
    's shuidheas féin síos ag gabháil leath sgéal di.
    Tháinig bean a'-tighe isteach is ba chuma nó an caor í.
    Is dhíbir sí uainn an Cailín Aerach

    A Mháire Ní Thuama ná dein mé dhaoradh
    Cé go rabhas-sa go mó leis an gCailín Aerach,
    Dá mbeadh do channaí féin 'na gcúibhir, ní íocfainn aon bhraon de,
    Is dá shúibhlafainn léi an Ruachtach, geallaim nách bhaoghal dom
    Cúrfá.
