Texty: Clannad. An Gabhar Ban.

Sa tsean ghleann thiar a bhi si raibh
Go dti gur fhas na hadharc' uirthi
Bliain is cead is corradh laethe
Go dtainig an aois go trean uirthi
Bhi si gcro bheag ins an cheo
Go dtainig feil'eoin is gur ealaigh si
Thart an rod san bealach mor
Gur lean a toir go gear uirthi.

Ni raibh nduine ar a toir ach donnchu og
Is d'ith si an lon san t-anlann air
Ni raibh aige ina dhorn ach ceap tuine mor
Agus leag se anuas on arradh i
Nuair a chuala an gabhar ban go raibh si ar lar
Thug si leim chun tarrthala
Thug si ras 's ni raibh si sasta
Is leag si spion an tailliura.

Chomh cruinn le ron gur thog si feoil

Gan pis gan moran deibhirce
Ach d'ith si cib agus barr an fhraoich
Slanlus min is craobhogai
Draoin is dreas is cuilcann glas
Gach ni ar dhath na h-ainleoga
Cutharan sleibhe, duilliur feile
Caora sreana agus blainseogai.

Chuaigh si dhiol cios le caiftin spits
Is chraethnaigh a croi go dtreigfi i
Chaith si an oiche ar bheagan bidh
Mar nduil is go geasfai fear uirthi
D'fan si 'a oiche I dtoin ros coill
Is chaith si e go pleisura
Go dtainig an slua ar maidin go luath
Is thug siad amach as éirinn i.
