- Mairg adeir olc ris na mnáibh!
bheith dá n-éagnach ní dáil chruinn,
a bhfuaradar do ghuth riamh
dom aithne ní hiad do thuill. - Binn a mbriathra, gasta a nglór,
aicme rerab mór mo bháidh;
a gcáineadh is mairg nár loc;
mairg adeir olc ris na mnáibh. - Ní dhéanaid fionghal ná feall,
ná ní ar a mbeith grainc ná gráin;
ní sháraighid cill ná clog;
mairg adeir olc ris na mnáibh. - Ní tháinig riamh acht ó mhnaoi
easbag ná rí (dearbhtha an dáil),
ná priomhfháidh ar nách biadh locht;
mairg adeir olc ris na mnáibh. - Agá gcroidhe bhíos a ngeall;
ionmhain leó duine seang slán,—
fada go ngeabhdaois a chol;
mairg adeir olc ris na mnáibh. - Duine arsaidh leathan liath
ní hé a mian dul 'na dháil;
annsa leó an buinneán óg bocht;
mairg adeir olc ris na mnáibh!
