脷rchnoc Ch茅in Mhic C谩inte

A phl煤r na maighdean is 煤ire gn茅
thug cl煤 le sc茅imh 贸n 脕dhamhchlainn,
A ch煤l na bp茅arla铆, a r煤n na h茅igse,
dh煤bl铆os f茅ile is f谩ilte,
a ghn煤is mar ghr茅in le t煤s gach lae ghil
a mh煤chas l茅an le g谩ire,
's茅 an trua gan m茅 's t煤, a shi煤r, linn f茅in
sa d煤n sin Ch茅in mhic C谩inte.

T谩im br煤ite i bp茅in, gan suan gan n茅al,
de do chumha'se, a gh茅ag is 谩ille,
's gur t煤 mo rogha i gc煤ighibh 脡ireann,
c煤is nach s茅anaim 谩thas de;
d谩 si煤lf谩 a r茅alt gan sm煤id, liom f茅in
ba s煤gach saor 谩r sl谩inte-
gheobhair pl煤r is m茅ad is cnuasach craobh
sa d煤n sin Ch茅in mhic C谩inte.

A shuaircbhean ts茅imh na gcuachfholt p茅arlach,
gluais liom f茅in ar ball beag,
nuair a bheas uaisle is cl茅ir is tuata铆 i n茅al
'na suan faoi 茅ada铆 b谩na;
贸 thuaidh go mb茅am i bhfad uathu araon
teacht nuachruth gr茅ine am谩rach,
gan ghuais le ch茅ile in uaigneas aerach
san d煤n sin Ch茅in Mhic C谩inte.
