Amhrán
“Siar 'sa aniar le bóithre balla”
AmhránSiar 'sa aniar le bóithre Balla
Agus thart ag bun Slieve Cárn
Ag cur tuairsg mo chailín deas a d’imthigh uaim
Is a d'fhág sí m'intinn cráidhte
Thug sí an sway ó fhluite is an fhidil
Sí cuaichín bárr a tsléibhe
Beo nó marbh go dtéigh mé i dtalamh
Ní sgarfaidh mé le mo chéad grádh má's féidir.2
Ó is buachaill óg mé atá dul a pósadh
Bígidh ag tuairisg mná dhom,
Chaithfinn spól go deas ar anairt
Is d'fhighfinn tic is mála.
Chraithfinn síol go deas sa talamh
Is de réir ar thalta bána
Is mo lámh ar an gcéacht in éis na gcapall
Go dtreabhfainn cnoc is fánaidh.3
Is bhí mise lá dul sráid Cill Alaidh,
'Gus mé mo spailpín fánach
Glaoidh bean a leanna isteach orm
Go n-óladh sí mo shláinte
Is thosuigh mé ag glaodhach na gcárta
Is eadar sin is maidin(continues on next page)
