“Cearc agus coileach a d'imthígh le chéile”
Cearc agus coileach a d'imthígh le chéile
Siubhal síád Éire go mbrisfhidh a chroidhe.
Gur thúas san Gaillimh gur gabhadh an peire
Gur chuireadh an scéal seo fe aon locht an dlíghe
Gur duine gan céilee go dhein tú an sgaol,
Gur ag Taidhghin OCuimhighin a bhí síád ag fearach
Ag ithe ar bhárr sléibhthe is i gcodhladh sa bhfraoch
II
Of the cock was established all over the nation
I heard of his features in Donaghadee
He was killed in Connaught
And plucked in Glann Neifin
And ate by those maidens that was spinning their wheel,
They sold all the feathers to Padhraic ONéill,
And the gizard and grease was thrown out on the field
They were tired and found guilty
At the assizes of Galway
And on the fifteenth of May, they will die I believe.

Ochón ars an cearc is i dul ar a baradh -
Nach brónach nach deacair le innseacht m'shéal
Athair m'clainne agus céille mó lebtha.
Béidh dul ins an pota 'sa leac ar a bhéal- Collector
