  1. Amhrán

    “Shiubhail mé síos agus shiubhail mé suas ¶ Shiubhail mé féin isteach go tigh a leanna”

    Taken down from Mrs McMahon of Dian, who sang same to me. Mrs McMahon was the last of the native speakers in this district.
    Shiubhail mé síos agus shiubhail mé suas
    Shiubhail mé fhéin isteach go tigh an leanna
    Sgairt mé 'steach ar chárta dígh
    Agus d'iarr mé change ar bhean an leanna
    Curfa
    Tá sé'n lá míle grádh tá sé'n lá 's tá sé an mhaidin
    Tá sé'n lá míle grádh, tá sé an tráth gabháil a bhaile
    Níl sé'n lá míle grádh níl sé'n lá 's níl sé an mhaidin
    Níl sé'n lá míle grádh ó ar ball a d'éirigh an ghealach
    Éirigh suas fear a tigh as chuir ort do bhrístí as do hata
    Go gcoinneóchtha tú cuideachta le fear a chruidhe mhóir, bhéas gol annseo go maidin
    Seo mo lámh duit, nach fhuilim pósta
    Ach gur buachaill óg mé, thug gean do mhnaoi
