    Má thagann gamhain geal bán imeasg bó fheirmeóra Lá Bealtaine, is rathmhail an níd é, agus bíonn an rath ar na buaibh agus ar an dtigh a dtagann a leithéíd ann. Tá sean-amhrán ann ag tagairt do'n ngamhain ceudhna.

    "Tá bó agam ar an sliabh;
    Is táim le seol'na diaidh
    Ó chailleas-sa ma chiall le grádh dhí
    D'á seoladh soir is siar
    Is gach áit d'á ngabhann an ghrian
    Go n-iompuigheann sí aniar um thrácthnóna."

Bhíodh banndaí bláthanna timcheall cinn na gcailíní agus slata glasa ag na buacaillíbh agus bhíodh an fear ba láidre agus ba groidheomhla san pharóiste i lár an fháinne istigh, agus é ag tabhairt orduighthe uaidh.
