    ‘S do leig Fionn féin Bran
    D’fhág ar n-amharc amné go léir
    ‘S budh bheag a mbaoghail a teacht d’ár ngar
    Ó moch maidne go dtáinig dubh ar an oidhche
    Níor phill aon neach daobhtha arais
    ‘S ní fhacaidh muid’ne gadhar nó cú
    “Is mór an t-iongad”, ar Connan Rhigh
    “Leim a lúth a fhaghail amach cran na crich
    Agus bran ariamh nar leig seilg uaith”
    Chuir Fionn ordóg in a bheul
    Agus chagain í faoi na dheud go sinior
    Fear a fhiosruigheas arsa Conan Maol
    Ca deachaidh ár ngadhar cheol binne nó ár gcoin
    Dar an lámh sin ort a Chonain Mhaoil
    Ní phillfidh aon neach daobhtha arais
    D’ar lean an ilthid maol amháin ach Bran
    ‘S ar radh na bhfocla tháinig a lathair
    Bran ‘s í sáruighthe suaidhte fliuch
    ‘S ar teacht dí ameasg cách
    Sar mo lámh budh thruagh a cruth
    Shuidh sí síos a bhfinisighe Fhinn
    Gol go binn agus scread go cruaidh
