    Tógaidh uaim na húpaí seo, tá mo ghlúine acu geárrtha,
    Is fachtar domsa gúinín do dhúthchas mo mháthar,

    —Aillilliú
    Is toice beag gan chéill tú, is ní féidir liom tú a mhúineadh,

    Ribíní dearga ag ceangailt do chuid gruaige,
    Ór buidhe ar do chóisdí is neart a bheith 'á luascadh;
