Cill chais

Traditional

Cad a dhéanfaimid feasta gan adhmad?
Tá deireadh na gcoillte ar lár
Níl trácht ar Chill Chais ná a teaghlach
'S ní chluinfear a cling go brách
An áit úd 'na gcónaíodh an dei-bhean
Fuair gradam is meidhir thar mnáibh
Bhíodh iarlaí ag tarraingt thar toinn ann
'S an t-Aifreann binn dá rá

Ní chluinim fuaim lachan ná gé ann
Ná iolar ag éamh cois cuain
Ná fiú na mbeacha chun saothair
Thabharfadh mil agus céir don tslua
Níl ceol binn milis na n-éan ann
Le hamharc an lae dul uainn
Ná an chuaichín i mbarra na gcraobh ann
Ó's í chuirfeadh an saol chun suain

Aicim ar Mhuire 's ar Íosa
Go dtaga sí arís chughainn slán
Go mbeidh rincí fada 'gabháil timpeall
Ceol fidil 's tinte cnámh
Go dtógfar an baile seo ár sinsear
Cill Chais bhreá, arís go hard
Is go brách nó go dtiocfaidh and díle
Ná feicfear é arís ar lár
