lyrics

Aréir is mé ag téarnamh ar neoin
ar an dtaobh eil’ den teorainn ‘na mbím,
do thaobhnaigh an spéirbhean am chomhair
is d’fhág taomannach breoite lag sinn;
do ghéilleas dá méin is dá cló
dá béal tana beo-mhilis binn,
‘s do léim mé fá dhéin dul ‘na comhair’
‘s ar Éirinn ní ‘neosainn cé hí!

Dá ngéillfeadh an spéirbhean dom ghlór
‘s iad ráiteas mo bheoil do bheadh fíor,
go deimhin duit do dhéanfainn do ghné
do léirchur i gcóir is i gcrích;
do léifinn go léir stair dom stór
‘s ba mhéin liom í pógadh óm chroí,
do bhéarfainn an chraobh dhi ina dóid
‘s ar Éirinn ní ‘neosainn cé hí!

A ghrá dhil, bí páirteach liom féin,
is go háirithe da mb’fhéidir liom scrí’
bheinn ag gáire le bánchnis na gcraobh,
dá bhfaighinn áirithe ó aoinne cé hí.
níl a cairde róshasta liom féin
chun áras a dhéanamh ná tíos,
ach má tá sí, de réir ráite do bhéil,
ní náir’ duit a léiriú cé hí!

Tá spéirbhruinneal mhaorga mhodhail óg
ar an taobh eile den teorainn ‘na mbím,
tá féile ‘gus daonnacht ‘na meon
is deise ró-mhór ‘sa mnaoi;
tá folt léi ag titim go feor
go cocánach ómrach buí,
tá lasadh ‘na leacain mar rós
‘s ar Éirinn ní ‘neosainn cé hí!
