Suibne in the snow

1. Mór múich i túsa in-nocht;
   ro thregd mo chorp in gáeth glan;
   toll mo thraigte; glas mo grúad;
   a Dé móir, a-tá a dúal dam.
2. I m-Beinn Boirche dam a-rraír;
   rom-thúairg braín i n-Echtga úair;
   in-nocht ro brétait mo boill
   i n-glaic croinn i n-Gáille glúair.
3. Ro fuilnges mór tres gan tlás
   ó ro ás clúm ar mo chorp;
   ar gach aidche is ar gach ló
   is mó sa mó fuilgim d' olc.
4. Rom-chráid sic (sín nách súairc);
   rom-thúairg snechta ar Sléib Meic Sín;
   in-nocht rom-geguin in gáeth
   gan fráech Glenna Bolcáin bil.
5. Utmall m' imirce in gach íath;
   dom-ríacht beith gan chéill gan chonn;
   do Muig Line for Muig Lí,
   do Muig Lí for Life lonn.
6. Saigim dar Segais Sléibe Fúait;
   ricim im rúaic co Ráith Móir;
   dar Mag n-Aí, dar Mag Luirg luinn,
   ricim co cuirr Crúachain chóir.
7. Ó Shléib Chúa (ní turas tais)
   ricim go Glais Gáille grinn;
   ó Glais Gáille (gid céim cían)
   ricim sair go Slíab m-Breg m-binn.
