Song (continued)
“Do bhí bean uasal is i seal dá luadh liom.”
(continued from previous page)Ochón ó is mo chumha go deo
Gan an oídhche romhan go mbeinn pósta leat
Nílim fós is ní bhead go deo
For I choose to romham with my own sweatheart.Do shiúbhlas Éire is an domhan le chéile
Is ón áit sin síos mar a mbíonn mo ghrádh
Ní fuaireas aoinne ar feadh an méid sin
Do dhein mo phléising mar Molly bhán.Mná na hÉirean siad ag teacht le chéile
Is gur mór an traeson a leath do rádh
Gurab é deir gach éinne a chlois mo sgéal-so
Go dtug sí swain léi ó Chonnda an Chláir.Pádruig (Tadhg) Ó Dúnaighe (nach maireann anois Túirín na Scairte, gan a bheith pósta, aois 80.
