Smauinntich e ge cruaidh an cas,
Comhrag na'n tri chaogad Laoch.
Mar-bliith na laoich a bhi garg,
Is f hagail doibh do t' airm an leoir,
Bhidh fiad fa chobhair a fmachd,
Da n g<?ibhte uaithe a chcart choir.
Leig e nào naònar gu luath.
San iarguil chrualdh mu'n do fguir,
Ceangal guineach nan tri chaol.
Air gach Laoch dhiubh fin do chuir,
Clann Morna cruaidh an cas,
Fhuair iad bas bu mhor an fgeul,
'S ni n' raibh aon neach a chuaidhe as.
Gun a chneas fa ioma creuchd.
Dheirigh Goll an aigne mhir,
Leadairt an f hir an cath gh'leo,
Ge be chifadh iad an fin,
Bu gharbh an gaoil is an fgleo.

GuYearJha feur treun cahiia cruaidh,
Na letsighainn lajdir, ghuineach, dhifgir,
Araon comh cmocrach gu buaidh.

Gur mairg gus an 'tainig a bhcan.
Far thuit am fear on chuan,
Do Dhalaicmar aig an eas,
An paifgeach bu mhcr treis is brigh,
Is chuirfadh air fa bharr gach meoir.
Fail oir ann onoir mo Righ.
Do bhi irighean Righ fa thuinn,
Bliadhra na mhnviol aig Feann fan fbeinn
