    Ive been in my youth, and I counted a lovely dame. Bá é an ainnir é ba ciúire oaír siubhal airíamh ar an bfheár.

    This fair maid whom I am enthralled by has caused me to sigh & moan.
    Níl am ba gchluinim trácht ar an staid bhríg no silim deór.
    You are the only fair one, who can ease my calamity.
    'S go sinteor mé gan creapoíg gur bé an speír bhean seo, gradh mo erside.

    Smaoinigh gur bé an grád is oul ar bhais is mór truágh bhít.
    Ma brigid tú ar mo phóradh agus mo thógail anois as píar.
    beidh tú ag sileadh deór os cionn mo cómhnair shíos ag loch Mac-Neán.
