Ni fiu e dod inginse,

I mor ata se tugta don foglaim,

Nil si air son a dadam deanam,

Ta me dul a ceannac buloige,

Ba mion liom bulog a ċeannać,

Credim andia atair uile-
ćumactać,
Creidim andia an ta-

tair uilecumaċtać, Do rinne Dia an talam tirm,

Dorinne se an talam tirin, Is aige Brian ata an laṁ cruaid,

Ta an lain cruaid le neart oibre,

Is olc a faras bròg cu

maing air cois fritir, Ni bròg cumaing an cos fritir,

Bu mitid duit deoć d'ol, agus biad d'ite, Ni mian liom a beit ag ol dige, no 'git bid anois, Se so tig matara,
