    A chumann ná bí ag bruighean liom
    Ag coimhscar ná ag groid de ghnáth.
    Féach ar Dhomhnall críona
    'S ar a mhuintir tá riamh mar táid
    Níor óladar bó ná caora
    Ach é go cruinn acu i dtóín a spraín
    Ach ní chuirfear insan chill leo
    Ach bairthlín agus comhra cláir

    An Drúncaor agus an Fuisgí
    Is tú mo chara agus is tú mo namhaid
    Agus dfhágais me sealad fé éadach lom
    Ach anois ó tán tú chomh gairid dom ghrabhas
    Go raibh mh anam ón ndiabhal go ngeobhair siar le fonn.

    (Seán Ó Donobháin O.S., Cill Mhic Aibia do scríobh é seo síos ó Sheán Ó Loingsig ón Léím a bhí 75 bliann an uair sin. Tá Sean curtha bliain nú mar sin.
    Tá se i mBéarla leis againn:
    You are me (=my) friend although me foe,
    Tis you that makes me wear bad clothes
    But since you come so near me nose
    Come up me friend and down you go.
