  1. Amhrán

    “Níl sé acht anuraidh o phós mé”

    Nil sé acht anuraidh o phós mé
    Is gur bfuidhe liom lá no blían
    Mo bothairín aluinn gan bóláis
    'S mé ag silead na ndeór faraor
    Nil duil in imirt na n-ól agam
    Ná in aon ceól ar chuala mé aríamh
    Acht faraoir nár sineadh i gconra me
    Sul a dhubhradh liom posadh riamh.

    Is gur buachaillín mise a bhí aerach
    Gur chaith mé mo shaoghal ar bord luing
    Bhainfinn sa gile sna spéirthaidh,
    Is comharfinn na réalta liom.
    Racainn ar fad go jinaca
    I gcoinne locht tae agus romh
    Is gurbh iomdha bean deas acu déarthadh
    Gur mairg nár ealuigh liom.
