Chuaigh m� 'na Rosann ar cuairt
Gur bhreathnaigh m� uaim an sp�ir
Is thart f� na h-oile�in � thuaidh
Mar eilit agus c� 'na diaidh
S� d�irt gach duine f�'n chuan
Nuair a tharlaigh m� anuas f�'n ch�idh
Nach maith a aithn�m ar do ghruaim
Gur fear th' a bhfuil a' t�ir 'do dhiaidh

Casadh dom a' cail�n deas �g
Ach m� casadh 's� a labhair go gar
M�'s fear th' a bhain do mhnaoi �ig
Cha mholaim r�mh�r do thrade (cheird)

Chonnaic m� fear ar th'r m�r
'S � ag si�l gan bhr�g inn�
Is d�igh liom gur thusa 'n fear �g
'S go bhfuil ort an t�ir 'do dhiaidh

D'fhreagair m� 'n ainnir dheas �g
Ghlac s� go m�r mo sc�al
Stad de do mhagadh n�os m�
N� n� duine den tseort sin m�

Ach suigh thus' anall 'e mo ch�ir
Is b� thus' ar aon n�s lion f�in
N� rachaidh m� os coinne do shr�n'
Amach go t�r m�r le l�im

Thit muid i dtuirse 's i mbr�n
Is d'fhiafraigh an �ig-bhean d�om
C� bhfuigheas muid gloine le h-�l
A th'gfas an br�n d'�r gcro'?

T� teach beag ar leath-taoibh an r�id
Agus coinn�onn s� i gc�na� braon
Gabh thusa 'gus rappail an bord
'S n� dh�olfaidh do ph�ca� aon phingin

Tharlaigh muid 'steach i dtoigh 'n �il
Agus b'fhaiteach go leor m� le su�
Ar eagla go dtiocfadh an t�ir
Is go mbainf� an �ig-bhean d�om

Nuair a fuair muid gach n� mar ba ch�ir
Is mheas m� gur ch�ir d�inn su�
S� d�irt s�: B� thus' ag gabh�il cheoil
'S n� dh�olfaidh do ph�ca� aon phingin

Cha rabh mis' i bhfad ag gabh�il cheoil
Gur chruinnigh go leor 'un toigh'
Achan fhear is a ghloine 'n a dhorn
Le comhm�radh a thabhairt don d�s

Bh� biot�ilte fairsing go leor
A rabh beag�n d� �l sa t�r
'S d� dtarraingeoinn-se gal�n U� Dhomhnaill
B'fhurast mo sc�r a dh�ol

Nuair a lig muid d�inn tuirse is br�n
S� d'fhiafraigh an �igh-bhean d�om
C� mb�onn t� 'do ch�na� sa l�
Nuair nach gcoinn�onn t� cr� duit f�in?

B�m-se seal 'dtoigh an �il
Cha de�naim-se l�n don phingin
A' meid �daidh a shaothra�m sa l�
A chathamh le sp�rt san o'ch'

M�'s fear th' a leanas don �l
Cha mholaim r�mh�r do thrade
N� chan iarrfainn ar dhuine de do sheort-sa
Toiseacht le buaidhreadh an tsaoil

Is fearr d�inn fanacht go f�ill
Go nde�naidh muid l�n don phingin
Is go rabh againn an t-�r
Is cuidi� d'�r gc�ir ar�st

Le fanacht go nde�naidh muid l�n
Caithfear cuid mh�r d'�r saol
Is fearr d�inn toiseacht go h-�g
'S beidh cuidi� d'�r gc�ir ar�st

Do leith'id char casadh go f�ill
Dom i mbealach n� i r�d 'mo thriall
'S d� mbeinn-se i mB�al-an-�tha M�r
Gheobhainn cail'n' �g' ar phingin
