    Is truaigh gan tú san chlúid agam,
    A shean bhean bhocht.
    Is truaigh gan tú san chlúid agam,
    A shean bhean bhocht.
    Is truaigh gan tú san chlúid agam,
    Is cipín in do shúil agat,
    A’s nach deas an ruaille – buaille,
    A dheánfadh sean bhean bhocht.

    Is truaigh gan tú san ceardcha agam,
    A shean bhean bhocht.
    Is truaigh gan tú san ceardcha agam,
    A shean bhean bhocht.
    Is truaigh gan tú san ceardcha agam,
    Is croidhtheacha ar do shalaibh agat,
    Is nach deas an capall rása,
    A dheánfadh sean bhean bhocht.
    VI
    Is truaigh gan tú san arm agam,
    A shean bhean bhocht.
    Is truaigh gan tú san arm agam,
    A shean bhean bhocht.
    Is truaigh gan tú san arm agam,
    As do dhá láimh sínte amach mait,
    Is nach deas an gunna saighduír,
    A dheánamh sean bhean bhocht.
