- Nuair a rachaim-se síos go cathair
abhí,
lem corrán le buaint na n-eórnan
gurbé deir gach sméiste do caille crón
cíoramh
Is a spailpín cá mbíonn tú id chómhnuidhe
Do labhras-sa léi, gan bladar gan bréag
leis an gaile bhuidhe, gan eólas
Cadé sin duit féin, ó thógas mar fréic
cúgham
Imtheacht seal do réir mo sláinte
II
A spailpín a rúin cár gabhais-se
chúghainn,
Gur deinis-se an fóghmhar cómh
luath so,
Is dá mbéidhfá-sa féin mar a
codlas aréir
Ba gairid ó’d bhéilín póg d’fhágháil,
A chaillig baoí crón,
Ní méinn liom do glór,
Ní ghlacfainn céad bó mar
spré leat
Is go mb’fhearra liom póg
ó cailín deas óg
a bheadh agam go deó mar bréaga.(continues on next page)- Informant
