    I.
    Bhéadh buachaillín deas ag Síle,
    Dá bpósadh sí mise mar fhear,
    Marbhóchainn an breach ar an dtúinndi,
    Is an coinín ar an dhaoi chómh maith,
    Ní iarfainn leí capall ná caoire,
    Leí airgeadh buidhe ná geal,
    Ach go mbéarr liom agam mar mhnaoí í.
    Ná inghean aon rí dar mhair
    II
    Ní bhfaighead aon locht orm Síle,
    Mar a mbeadh an popaire críonna mam,
    Ní thóladh sí ló ná d'oidhche,
    Mise do thógha mar fhear.
    Deir sí go nólfainn a ndhíolfainn.
    Is ná béinn í gcúrm cíos ná slacht,
    Is gur gaige fuar dealbh díomhaoin mé,
    Na deanfhainn cúram do cloinn ná do bhean.
