- Má mholtar le sgéal is le h-abhráin,
Na fir a bhí tréan agus fíor,
Do chuir clú agus cáil le na n-Donaith,
Ar ghleann ag srutháin 'is sliabh.
Ná fághaidh ar deire na trean-fhir,
Do chruinnigh ar planaidhe Mhuigheo,
Nuair a ghnóchuigh na Gaill i Loch Gorman,
'Siad muintear an Iarthair bhí beo.
Curfá.
'Seo sláinte na bhfear as an iarthar dóibh,
Do chruinnigh le congnansan ár,
'Seas siar i n-aimsir an gear-chaill,
Seo sláinte fear Connacht go bráth.Tháinig na longa lá fógmhair,
Go cuan Chill Alaidh ag snámh,
'S bhíomar comh fada a shúil leo,
Gur shíleamar nach dtiocfadh go bráth.(continues on next page)
