Lyrics:
I mo bhuachaill óg, fadó fadó,
d'aimsíos nead.
Bhí na gearrcaigh clúmhtha, fastá,
is iad ag scread.

D’éirigh siad — is thuirling
arís ar m'ucht
Ormsa bhí muince clúimh
sa mhóinéar fliuch.

Níor dhuine mé ach géag crainn
nó carp cloch
ach bhí iontas crua nár bhraith said
ag bualadh faoi m'ucht.

B'in an lá ar thuirling ceird
a éilíonn ómós:
is d’fhág a n-ingne forba orm
nár leigheasadh fós.
