An Poc Ar Buile
Ar mor ghabháil dom siar chum Droichead Ui Mhórdha
Pice im dhóid is médui i meitheal.
Cé chasfai orm i gcumar ceoidh
Ach pocán crón is é ar buile!
Alliliú puilliliu, alliliú tá an poc ar buile.
Alliliú puilliliu, alliliú tá an poc ar buile.
Alliliú puilliliu
Alliliú! puilliliu! tá an poc ar buile.
Do ritheamar trasna trí ruilleogach
Is do ghluais an comhrac ar fud na muinge,
Is treascairt dá bhfuair sé sna turtóga
Chuas ina ainneoin ar a dhroim le fuinneamh
Alliliú puilliliu, alliliú tá an poc ar buile.
Alliliú puilliliu, alliliú tá an poc ar buile.
Alliliú puilliliu
Alliliú! puilliliu! tá an poc ar buile.
Níor fhág sé carraig go raibh scó (scabhat) ann
Ná gur rith le fórsa chun mé a mhilleadh,
Is ea ansin do chaith sé an léim ba mhó
Le fána mhór na Faille Brice,
Alliliú puilliliu, alliliú tá an poc ar buile.
Alliliú puilliliu, alliliú tá an poc ar buile.
Alliliú puilliliu
Alliliú! puilliliu! tá an poc ar buile.
The Gardai came from the town of Ballyroche
For to catch that goat with his sticks and switches;
The goat gave the captain a kick up his arse,
and his horns made rags of his brand new breeches.
Alliliú puilliliu, alliliú tá an poc ar buile.
Alliliú puilliliu, alliliú tá an poc ar buile.
Alliliú puilliliu
Alliliú! puilliliu! tá an poc ar buile.
I nDaingean Uí Chúis le haghaidh an tráthnóna
Bí an sagart paróiste amach 'nár gcoinnibh,
Is é dúirt gurbh é an diabhal ba dhóigh leis
A ghaibh an treo ar phocán buile!
Alliliú puilliliu, alliliú tá an poc ar buile.
Alliliú puilliliu, alliliú tá an poc ar buile.
Alliliú puilliliu
Alliliú! puilliliu! tá an poc ar buile.
