Preab I bidh ad sheasamh ! glac meanmnadh's bioga'nois

Ata 'n Ruta sa laidir mas fior gacb a raidhtear,

Rainnce ar gach maol-chnoc-le h-athus na sgleipe
Ag cur failt roimh Shearlus a bhaile 'na chroinn.

Au sg^al breagh ra innsint faid mhairfiom gach 16 ;
Xa cobaicc go claoidhte-gan foith'in gan fionta,

Ta Seoirse 'sa mhuintir go bronach lag claoidhte
S 'croinn na d-tri rioghachda ni casaid go deo !
