Chuaigh me isteach I dteach areir
Is d’iarr me cairde ar mhnaoi an leanna.
Is e duirt si liom "ni bhfaighidh tu deor.
Buail an bothar is gabh abhaile."
Curfa:
Nil se ina la, nil a ghra,
Nil se ina la is ni bheidh go maidin,
Nil se ina la is ni bheidh go foill,
Solas ard ata sa ghealaigh.
Chuir me fein mo lamh I mo phoca
Is d’iarr me briseadh scillinge uirthi.
Is e duirt si liom "suigh sios ag bord
Is bi ag ol anseo go maidin."
Curfa
"eirigh I do shui, a fhear an ti,
Cuir ort do bhristi is do hata
Go gcoinne tu ceol leis an duine coir
A bheas ag ol anseo go maidin."
Curfa
Nach mise fein an fear gan cheill
A d’fhag mo chios in mo scornaigh?
D’fhag me lean orm fein
Is d’fhag me sean ar dhaoine eile.
