Ar a ghabhail 'n a 'chuain damh 's me bhi go huaibhreach
|
Tinn lag buartha im intinn,
|
Bhi me feachaint uaim ar an speir aduaidh
|
'S i ealo uaim 'na trealtai.
|
|
Ach faraoir gear gear 's me an ceann gan cheill
|
Nior ghlac me comhairle mo mhaithrin fein,
|
'S gur dhuirt si liom frid chomra ghrinn
|
Go Beal-Ath-hAmhnais 's na triall ann.
|
|
Ach ba mhon a thug me gra do mo chailin ban
|
An la brea i gcul an gharrai,
|
'S do bheilin blath mar chur na tra
|
'S do ghruann chomh dearg leis na caorthainn.
|
|
Chuir me lamh ar an chuan, 's bhi mo chroi lan gruaim
|
Ag ceiliur caoin na n-eanlaith,
|
'S nach trua gan mise ag ealo leat
|
Faoi ropai 's seoltai seidte.
|
|
Oru, a chuid 's a run da ngluaisfea ar suil
|
Go tir na long as Éirinn,
|
Nil tuirse croi no tinneas cinn
|
Nach leighisfi ann gan amhras.
|
|
No ba tu mo rogha innui is inne
|
Agus coinnivh agat fein on bhas me,
|
No gan ghrasta De ni mhairfitdh me
|
Ar an tsraid seo i mBeal-Ath-hAmhnais.
