An Cailan Gaelach
B'áite liom féin 'bheith ar thaobh mhalaí shléibhe
'Gus cailín gaelach a bheith 'mo chomhair
Bheinn a bréagadh 's a teannadh léithe
'Gus dar liom féin, 'riú, gur dheas ar ndóigh
Ag éirí domh féin ar maidin an lae ghil
'S mé gabhail fá'n choill chraobhaigh 's mé seoladh bó
Tharlaigh domh an spéirbhean 'na suí ar an léana
'S a fallaing léithe 's í lán de ghnó
D'fhiafraigh mé díthe go ciúin is go ceillí
An nglacfaidh tú póg uaim, a stór mo chroí?
D'oscail sí a béilín 'gus labhair sí Bearla
'S é dúirt sí, "Pray sir, and let me be
Is maith an airí ar na buaibh a shantú
'Gus bheinnse 'a seoladh amuigh sa lá
Im agus bainne iad, ar theacht a' tsamhraidh
'S mar gheall ar bhólacht a phóstar mná
'Gus cailín gaelach a bheith 'mo chomhair
Bheinn a bréagadh 's a teannadh léithe
'Gus dar liom féin, 'riú, gur dheas ar ndóigh
Ag éirí domh féin ar maidin an lae ghil
'S mé gabhail fá'n choill chraobhaigh 's mé seoladh bó
Tharlaigh domh an spéirbhean 'na suí ar an léana
'S a fallaing léithe 's í lán de ghnó
D'fhiafraigh mé díthe go ciúin is go ceillí
An nglacfaidh tú póg uaim, a stór mo chroí?
D'oscail sí a béilín 'gus labhair sí Bearla
'S é dúirt sí, "Pray sir, and let me be
Is maith an airí ar na buaibh a shantú
'Gus bheinnse 'a seoladh amuigh sa lá
Im agus bainne iad, ar theacht a' tsamhraidh
'S mar gheall ar bhólacht a phóstar mná
