Na Buachaill铆 脕lainn

Mo bheannacht leis buachaill铆 a d'imigh uaim thar s谩ile
D'fh谩g siad culaith dheas orm le dul amach D茅 Domhnaigh
C贸ta m贸r go talamh agus veist den ts铆oda l谩idir
Br铆ste a bh铆 san fhaisean agus br贸ga den leathair Sp谩inneach

'S 贸r贸 na buachaill铆, 's na buachaill铆 a bh铆 谩lainn (x2)

Nuair a ch铆mse an fharraige gharbh, 贸 's茅 mo chro铆 b铆os cr谩ite
Ag smaointi煤 ar na buachaill铆 mar b铆onn siad ins sna bada铆
Gu铆mse r铆 na n-aingeal 's茅 shocra铆os na pl谩ineid
Go dtabharfadh s茅 sl谩n na buachaill铆 ar chont煤irt a bheith b谩ite.

'S 贸r贸 na buachaill铆, 's na buachaill铆 a bh铆 谩lainn (x2)

Fuair m茅 litir as Albain 's n铆 raibh s茅 i mo sh谩samh,
Gur p贸sadh na buachaill铆 ar chail铆n铆 na h谩ite
N铆 n谩r mhaith linn acu iad d谩 mbeadh siad in谩r s谩samh
Ach cail铆n铆 na n-oile谩n, 's iad an dream ab'fhearr linn

'S 贸r贸 na buachaill铆, 's na buachaill铆 a bh铆 谩lainn (x4)
