[Verse 1]
Lá breá aoibhinn ar fiar an tsléibhe ‘muigh
Do bhí mór-uaisle na dtrí chontae ann;
Do chuireamar ár ngadhair go cruinn lena chéile
‘Gus siúd amach an madra ‘gus leanamar go léir é

[Verse 2]
Lá Nollag Beag cuireadh deireadh leis an saoire
‘S do scaoileamar ár ngadhair go meanmnach meidhreach
Amach fé’s na garbh-chnoic bhí tarrac ar an reynard
‘S ó thuaidh chun Luimnigh ‘sea thug sé aghaidh uainn

[Verse 6]
Nuair a chuamar ar an dtalamh a bhí i mbarra Claise Móire
D’iompaigh sé ar an gcaladh mar ar stadadar na huaisle
Ar a chasadh dhó sa bhfarraige bhí na gadhair ag teacht suas leis
Is tallyho ag Cnaid is é ag snámh tríd an mórmhuir

Do tharraing sé leis ins na h-áird ó thuaidh sinn
Chun Abha Tí an Uain is chun calaidh Droma Muaire
Aníos Ceapadh Chuinn is trí shráid na Leasa Muaire
‘Gur chuireamar i dtalamh é i mBarra Sliabh Luachra

[Outro]
San reang-a-diú-dil-é-dil am, did-ir-í- aigh-dil-é dil am
Reang-a diú-dil-é dil-aigh-dil am, di-di-ri-am
