    Bhí an fhairrge dhá pléáscadh
    'n-a mámaí (mádhmaí) geala gleigeal;
    Chrith orainn an speir ann
    le duibheachán 's le ceo;
    Annsin a bhí na ceoltaí
    Ag bluic agus ag rópaí,
    Cuid ádhmaid bhí ag pléascadh
    'S gach nidh d'á raibh 'n-a ceann.

    Bhí ár lámha bochta stroícthe
    Go síorruidhe ' tarraint rópaí,
    An craiceann a's an fheoil
    Tóigthe amach ó'n gcnámh.
    Thoisigh sí ag lúbadh
    A's ag imtheacht mar bhéadh cú ann,
    Baineadh an t-amharc (anc) (?) as mo shúile
    A's níor léar dhom mo lámh.
