    Cé'n mhaith dhom é dhá ndéanainn sin is teach mór,
    Ó cháill mé an béas a bhréagfadh cailín deas óg.

    'Sé mo léan géar gan mé in mo lacha beag bhán,
    Ag imtheacht san aér in éadan tuille agus tráigh.
    Mar shúil lé Mach Dé is go réitheóchadh Muire mo chás
    Is go sínfinn mo thaobh lé Péarla Deas an t-Sliabh Bhán.

    'Sé mo léan géar níl éadach orm ná bláth,
    Ná gearáinín agam a bhéaradh mé i bhfad as an áit,
    Go Bl' áth' Cliath na gcraobh má théighim ní fhillead go bráthach,
    Agus bíodh a rogha céile ag Péarla Deas an t-Sliabh Bhán.
