No ruitli buiniie snitlia, uo Osgar 's a cliath siu.
Blia se mil dlieireadh, mar dhuille ri treun ghaoith,
No mar chrann uas eabbaidh, 's a bhitheadh 'g a sbnaigheadh.
Mar cbunuaic righ Eirinn, beò air làr a chatb,
Thug Osgar 'n a choinnimb, mar gbarbh tuinne traigh,
Mar cbunuaic sin Cairbar, do chratb an t-sleagh shanntacb,
Gur cbuii- troimbe a cheann bir, gur b'e an cumba ceudua.
Nior iompaicb sin Osgar, gun d' ràinig Rìgb Eirinn,
Gun d' tbug beum co 'n dicbioU, gu 'r dbocbainn e geurlann ;
Bualas Art mac Cbarbair air an darna buille.
Is ambuil a bbi am fear sin, 's a bbinn rigb uimc.
Is mi Fergbus Filidb da 'r sbiubbail gacb innis,
Truagb tareis na Feinn, mo sgeul r'a innis.
Innis.
Gillecallum Mac an Ollaimh an t-ursgeul so sios.
Do cbuala mi fad o shean, sgeul do bhuineas ri cumba,
Is tràtb dba 'aitbris gu trom, ge ta mar ainneas oirnne,
Clann Rugbraidb nam bretb mall fa Cboncboir 'us fa Chonnuil,
Do b'iuiaimb oigfbir 's a mbagb air b-urlar Cboige Ullaidh,
G'a tbigb na tbainig le geau fa uile laocbraidb Bhaubba,
Catb aig faigbail aon uair eile, de 'r db' iomgliuin clanna Rugbraidb.
Tbainig tbugainn, borb a f braocb, an curaidb crodha Conlaocb,
A db' fbios ni m 'ar claraibb grinu, o Dbunsgathaich gu Eirinn.
Do labbair Concboir ri càcb, Co a gbeibbeamar tbun an oglaicb,
Do bbretb beacbd no sgeul dlietb, gun teacbd le euradb uaitb ]
Gluaiseas Conidl nior lag lamb do bbretb sgeul de 'n mbacan.
Air dearbbadh tarruing do'n laocb ceangailear Conull le Conlaocb,
Nior gbabb an laocli r'a tambacbd, Conlaocb fraocbacb furanacb,
Ceud de'r sluagb do cbeangladb leis, iogbnadb 'us buan ri aitbris.
Cuirear teacbdair gu ceann nan con o h-ardrigb eagnaidb Ullaidb,
Gu Duudealgain grianacb glan seann dim ciallacb nan Gaidbeal,
O'n dim sin do leugbar leinn do db' eangnamli nigbean Fborgainn.
Tbigeas gniomb nan saora seang gu rigb faoilteacb na fearainn.
Do fbiosracbadb sluaigb Ullaidb uaiue, tbigeas Cu na craoibhe ruaidh,
Mac deud-f bionn a gbruaidli mar sbiigb nar eiticb tigbinn db 'ar cobbar.
Fad ars' Concbor ris a cboin bbatbas gun teacbd d' ar cobbar,
Is Connuil suireacb nan steud mear 'an cuibbreacb 'us ceud d' ar sluagb.
Deacair dbomlisa bbi 'am bruid a f bir a cbobbaras air caraid,
Ni 'n reidb dol an eangnamb a lainn 's a ta le 'r cbeangladb Conull.
Na smuanaicb gun dol 'n a agbaidh, a rig!i nan gormlann grkineil,
