    Is fada tá Éire le na céadta múchta,
    I gradhain a bhéarla agus claon dlíghthe cúmhanga,
    Chun gur tháinig solas ón aon-mhic chúghainn féin mar cúnse,
    Ó dhíbir sé an Béarla bréin go Lonndain,
    An muinntir do bhí óg dá seóla is dá mhúineadh
    Ní raibh paidir ná cré acu mar a bhí gach aoinne a tháinig rúmpa
    Ach glafaracht Béarla na mbéal go flúirseach
    Is gearr go mbeidís caoch ag claon deilfe lútair.

    Ó tógadh an scamall dínn cuirmís le chéile,
    Is deinimís ár mactnam gur b'iad na Sasanaigh a chaoc sinn
    Nuair a chailleamair teangha ár n-natharacha naomhtha
    Is bhí Pádhraig Aspal nuair a bheannuigh sé Éire.
    Tá na Sasanaigh thíos is ní díol liom i
    gcúrsa
    Mar d'fhágadar na bóithribh go breoite agus go dúbhach sinn
    Bhíodar san Aifrice caithte ins gach cúinne.
    Agus beidh Dia dhuit fós mar scóp ar Lonndain .
