    Mo ghrádh is mo shearc
    Is ó ghabhas umat amach
    Do chuireas mo liúgh abhfad
    Soir agus ó dheas
    Agus do Cuilinn Úi Caoimh isteach
    Ag dúiseacht na bhfear
    Agus ag múscailt na mban
    Gabh mo leath-sgéul leat
    Ní bhfuaireadar an sgeul i bpras (in a hurry)
    Do bhí a gcuid lín eudaigh salach
    Bhí a nguailne ró-lag
    Agus a ndóirse ró-ghlas (doors of grave)
    Agus beidh siad cugat gan stad
    Mo chara agus mo laogh
    Is tu gaol na bhfear thá tré (nú tréith)
    Do cothuigheadh mná gan gaol
    Agus leanbhai ná tigheacht in aos
    Le prátaí, tíortha as aol
    Agus le feol na mart bíodh méith (fat)
    Agus ní h-í an mairt a thuitfeadh sa bhféith
    Ach an mairt a leigfeadh a ghéim
    Ar lár an iomaire réidh
    Féuchaint cá bhfuigheadh sé gaoth
    Mo grádh thu is mo chumana
    Agus geobhaidh me leat cos imill
    Ó thuaidh go Cnoicín a' Choinnigh (near Kiskeam)
