Ta bean in Éireann
a phronnfadh sead damh is mo shaith le n-ol
Is ta bean in Éireann i
s ba bhinne leithe mo rafla ceoil
No seinm thead;
ata bean in Eirinn is niorbh fhearr lei beo
Mise ag leimnigh no leagtha i gcre is mo tharr faoi fhod
Ta bean in Éireann
a g ead liom mur
bhfaighfinn ach pog
O bhean ar aonach, nach ait an sceala,
is mo dhaimh fein leo;
Ta bean ab fhearr
liom no cath is cead dhiobh nach bhfagham go deo
Is ta cailin speiriuil ag fear gan Bhearla,
dubhghranna croin.
Ta bean a dearfadh
da siulann leithe go
bhfaighinn an t-or,
Is ta bean 'na leine is is fearr
a mein no na tainte bo
Le bean a bhuairfeadh Baile an Mhaoir is clar Thir Eoghain,
Is ni fhaicim leigheas ar
mo ghalar fein ach scaird a dh'ol.
