    An lá thug dé luaimreacht a dteangan dóibh
    Féadfaí maith agus olc do labhradh
    (Above is said by a careful person, who doesn't want to commit himself).
    Badh ó'n iriseach (just) Abhraim é.
    (Said when the judge gives a good decision)
    (The just air of Abraham)
    Gan bun gan bárr
    (Without head or tail)
    Gan cam gan locht
    (Without stain or blemish)
    Trí droch-bhéasaí,
    ag ól an ghloine
    Ag caitheamh an phíopa
    Ag leagan an drucht
    Lámh is órdóg Éireann
    Druim na Scartha
    Croidhe mór maith (a heart and a half)
