    Má seo é an bás a gheall Mac Dé dhúinn
    Dheamhan cabhair dúinn gá shéanadh,
    Acht ólfaimid sláinte a chéile
    Má théidheann muid beo chun cuain.
    Nach mór an clú 's an t-ádh dhúinn
    Ár gceann a thabhairt i láthair,
    A's gan againn ach ár námhaid
    Ins gach áit d'á raibh ár dtriall.

    Bhí fuireann na luinge i n-éinfheacht
    Ag breathnú suas im' éadan,
    Ag iarraidh cabhair a dhéanamh
    A's gan mhaith ar bith dhóibh ann.
    'Sé dubhairt me leobhtha ar aon chor
    Go ndéanfainn cabhair dá bhféadfainn
    Ach iomchar uirri an t-éadach
    Fhad a's b'fhéidir léithi snámh.
