Ar a ghabháil 'n a 'chuain damh 's mé bhí go huaibhreach

Tinn lag buartha im intinn,

Bhi me feachaint uaim ar an speir aduaidh

'S í éaló uaim 'na trealtai.

Ach faraoir géar géar 's mé an ceann gan chéill

Níor ghlac mé comhairle mo mháithrin féin,

'S gur dhúirt sí liom fríd chomrá ghrinn

Go Beal-Ath-hAmhnais 's ná triall ann.

Ach ba mhón a thug mé grá do mo chailín bán

An lá breá i gcúl an gharraí,

'S do bhéilín bláth mar chúr na trá

'S do ghruann chomh dearg leis na caorthainn.

Chuir mé lámh ar an chuan, 's bhí mo chroí lán gruaim

Ag ceiliúr caoin na n-éanlaith,

'S nach trua gan mise ag éaló leat

Faoi rópaí 's seoltaí seidte.

Orú, a chuid 's a rún dá ngluaisfeá ar súil

Go tír na long as Éirinn,

Níl tuirse croí nó tinneas cinn

Nach leighisfí ann gan amhras.

Nó ba tú mo rogha innui is inné

Agus coinnivh agat féin ón bhás mé,

Nó gan ghrásta Dé ní mhairfitdh mé

Ar an tsráid seo i mBéal-Ath-hAmhnais.
