    An rud is annamh is iongantach
    Cóthaí dearga ar mhná cill chúille.
    Is mairg ná bíonn againn ciall
    Is ná cuireann srian le nár nguth.
    Nuair ná fuill againn fíon ná fíadh.
    Is maich an bhiadh í an chaora dhubh.
    Suimiú agus suimiú, suimiú do chealg mé is do dhóigh mo chroidhe.
    Suimiú na scarfhaid liom go ragaid mé an chill.
    Is fusa na cairrigeacha do thabairt aniar ón dtaoide
    Ná suimiú do chur isteach id mhalaódh cínn.
    Ar teiríghe amach fé'n sráid.
    Ná dein fonód fé dhuine bhoct
    Na mol is ná daoí mhol daoidhe
    Mar ná fuill saoidhe gan locht.
    Imthigheóchaidh a dtugaid is a dtáinig riam
    Imthigeóchaid mise agus tusa agus an uile chách nár ndiaidh.
    Imthigeóchaid an fhuiseóg a bhfeárr ar shlíabh
    Imthigeóchaid an seanduine a bhfeárr ar liágh.
    Dar ndóigh nior imthig an bágh ná an slíabh
    Ní lúgha ná ní dhimthigeóchaid ná grásta go bráth ó Dhia
    Aoine an chéasta is mor an ceasadh bainne dhól
    Dómhnach Cásga is mor an náire bheit gan feóil.
