An Bonn谩n Bu铆

A bhonn谩n bhu铆, is 茅 mo chr谩 do lu铆,
Is do chn谩mha s铆nte ar leaca lom'
Is nach ndearna t煤 d铆th n谩 dolaidh sa t铆r,
Is n谩rbh fhearra leat f铆on n谩 uisce poll.

D谩 gcuirfe谩 sc茅ala f谩 mo dh茅in
Go raibh t煤 i ng茅ibhinn n贸 i ndeacair 铆ot'
贸 bhainfinnse b茅im ar Loch Mhic an 脡in
A fhliuchfadh do bh茅al is do bhrollach s铆os.

N铆 hiad bhur n-茅anlaith at谩 m茅 ag eagaoin
An chuach, an traona n谩 an corr-bhreac
Ach an Bonn谩n Bu铆 a bh铆 l谩n de chro铆
Is gur cos煤il liom fein 茅 i snua is i ndreach.

Bh铆odh se ag s铆or贸l na d铆
Is deir daoine go mb铆m ar an n贸s sin seal
Is n铆l braon d谩 bhfuighinn nach ligfinn s铆os
Ar fhait铆os go bhfuighinn f茅in b谩s den tart ...

Is 茅 a d'iarr mo st贸r orm ligint den 贸l,
N贸 nach mbeinnse beo ach seal beag gearr;
鈥ˋch d煤irt m茅 l茅ithi go dtug s铆 an bhr茅ag,
鈥↖s gurbh fhaide mo shaolsa an deoch 煤d a fh谩il.

鈥∟ach bhfaiceann tu f茅in an ph铆ob谩in r茅idh
鈥℅o ndeachaigh s铆 in 茅ag den tart ar ball;
Is a dhaoine chl茅ibh, fliucha铆g bhur mb茅al
N贸 n铆 bhfaighidh sibh braon i ndiaidh bhur mb谩is.
