    “Nach sona's nach bronach”

    Amhrain
    Nach dona's nach brónach d'on té bíos ag ól
    Níl sógh ag n-a mhnaoi bhoicht ná lón ar a bórd;
    Níl bó i n-a bhoitheach na caora'n chro
    Is gur chuma leis fá'n domhan mór mur rabh acht gloine 'na dórn
    Níl ór i n-a phocáibh ná coirce'n-a stór
    Tá a chosa 'lig stróthta's á bhroga ag gabháil cheóil
    Tá a pháistí gan eadach's ní bhéidh siad 'bhfad beó
    'S go ndíolfadh sé a anam ar ghloine de'n bheóir.
    Ní deoch ins na chupán 'ná lónughadh d'á comhair
    Tá'n dúidín beag folamh is eisean i dtigh'n óil
    Nuair a thiocfas an Domhnach ní'l aige aon lón
    Ní théid sé chun Aifrinn is tá sé faoi bhon
    Tá na cearca ag cleitigh's ná madaidh ag glaodh
    Tá a' mbolg fhann folamh dhe dhioghbhail min bhuidhe
    Tá a theangaidh tirm tartamhail's níl aige an tslighe
