Tá Máire Ní Shéa creactha 's cuid feara d'á dhíol amach,
Ó sciobhadh an fiolar a lachan leis treasna na bhfír ó dheas.

Ach an t-uan breagh cúilce do bhí ag tarrach 'na chaoire dheas
Go raibh olann chomh fada air gur b'é bhreathnuigh na daoine ar fad,
Go mbeadh cúig punt sa mbearra air, dá mairfeadh le'n aois do theacht.Is a Dhonncadh an Chladaigh, pé cathair a bhfuil do nead,
Ag iasgach cois chaladh, nó ag faire san oidhche amach,
