- (continued from previous page)(III)Dubh na donn níor bh'áíl liom 's le caillig ruadha níor crádhabh méNíl aon bhean sa domhan do bhfearr liom ná an bháin chnis gan smúit,Go bhfuil a dlaoí folt fada, fáinneach go dtug na míle pearsa grádh dí,Agus cad é an fáth ná tráchtfainn ar mo Sweet Cailín Fionn.
(III)No black nor brown will please me, nor sorrel will not tease meThere's no colour there to please me but the fair one that's true,With her curly locks, so amazing, made thousands stand outgazingAnd why shouldn't I be praising my Sweet Cailíin Fionn.
(IV)Dá mba liom stáit úd déamar Solomon nú brághaid ab tréine ná éinne aca siúid,Iad siúd go léir níor mhó liom dá géire,d ár gcéill i gcath gruig feóirling,Chun bheith sínte seal liom stóírín mo Sweet Cailín Fionn.
(IV)If I had the wealth of Damer Cup bhfuil thab (?) or Phoebus.Bragaid who was greater than either of the two.Forfeit all my schooling for to quench this flaming fuel.That's grafted by this jewel my Sweet Cailín Fionn- Collector
