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.
