  1. Seanamhrán - Loch Léin

    “Cill Áirne le deise ¶ A leithéid níl le feiscint”

    (I)
    Cill Áirne le deise
    A leithéid ní'l le feiscint
    Beárna na Gaoithe
    Is súd go Dún Ló;
    Achadheó na gréine
    Gleann Áth na Fochair
    Agus Mucros na gcraobh
    Teacht taobh leis go deó.

    Oileán Inis Faithleann
    Ionat gur mhol an file
    Ó Conndae an Chláir d'éaluig
    Domnall na Niallach féín
    Isteach sa loch do léím sé
    É féín is a chapall
    Isteach sa loch do léím sé
    Ó bhruach Locha Léín.

    (III)
    Bíonn gach seact mbliain le feiscint
    Domhnall ar an uisge
    Agus a capall liath go gleásta
    Tré lár Locha Léín
    Tá ór is claidmheamh i n-aice
    Piast is é ag fhaire
