Original text | |
Tá dhá ghabhairín bhuí agam Is minseach bhainne Briseann siad an croí lonam Á dtabhairt abhaile Nil áit agam go gcrúfainn iad ach síos tríom hata Scaoileann mo hata tríd é ar fuaid an bhaile Tá dhá ghabhar sa choill agam is caoirigh geala, caoirigh geala Ní íosfaidis aon ní dhom ach barr an aitinn Cuirim in aghaidh an chlai iad le stumpa de bhata, stumpa de bhata Siúd thar mhullach an chlai iad I bhfad o bhaile Port nach bhfuil ag an bpiobaire na Híghlean Leaidí Seán Ó Ceallaigh an píobaire, is bíodh sé mar sin | |
