    An Buinneán Buidhe (leagan Chonnamara)
    A bhuinneáin bhuidhe bhoicht mo thruagh do luighe thú
    Is tá tú reóidhte faoi bhun na dtom;
    Tá do ghob is do sgórnach ar dhath an óir bhuidhe
    Is do bhéilín ró-dheas ar leacaibh lom.
    Dá gcuirteá sgéala fá mo dhéin-se
    Rachainn dot' fhéachaint dhá uair roimh lá;
    Bhainfinn géimneach as leac loch Éirne
    Is d'fhliuchfainn do bhéilín 's do chroidhe in do lár.
    Ní bó ná gamhna tá mé 'caoineadh
    An lon dubh, an chéirseach ná an t-éinín glas
    Ach an buinneán buidhe bocht le go dtug mé gnaoi dó,
    Mar is geall liom féin a shnuadh 'sa dhath.
    Mar bíonn sé i gcomhnaidhe 'síor-ól na dighe
    Agus deirtear go rabhas-sa amhlaidh seal;
    Deamhan deor dá bhfuighe mé nach leigfinn síos
    ar eagla go bhfaighinn bás de'n tart.
    Dubhairt mo bhean liom dá mbeinn ag ól
    Nach mairfinn beó ach seal beag gearr
