5/ Song in Irish, sean-nós
Peadar Ó Ceannabháin
Is a Neainsín Bhán cé's ansa leat fear eile ná mé fhéin
Is a Neainsín a dtug mé taitneamh dhuit i dtosach ar mhná an tsaoil
Óra shíl mé go mba bhreáichte thú ná bean ar bith fón saol
Ach smid chainte ná raibh i gceann an té nach molfadh leatsa mé.

Is an chéad lá d'Earrach tóigfidh mé talamh is beidh áras agam fhéin
'Gus séard a dúirt mo mhuintir liom nach bhfuil aon mhaith i mo scéal
Óra níl ach togha ar ógmhná an domhain is beidh mo roghain díobh agam féin
Ní as a cuid ná a maoin a molfar í ach as a cáilíocht agus a dea-méin.

Is a' tigheacht don Nollaig nach dona í m'obair a bheith 'síorchur insa gcré
Mar a bheadh seabhacán ar bharr sceiche nó ar bharr glas na sú craobh
Ach mo mhallacht go deo anois a thabharfainnse d'aon fhear beo fón saol
a thóigfeadh orm a bheith cogarnach le stóirín geal mo chléibh.

An Rógaire Dubh - Peadar Ó Ceannabháin

Tá mo stoca is mo bhróga ag an rógaire dubh, x3
The black rogue has taken my socks and shoes x3
Mo naipicín póca le bliain sa lá inniu.
And my pocket handkerchief, a year ago today.

Portaireacht (LILTING)

Tá nead insa sliabh ag an rógaire dubh, x3
The black rogue has a nest in the mountain x3
Ní ghabhfaidh sé an bóthar ach cóngar an chnoic.
He won't travel by road, but takes the shorcut over the hill.

Dá bhfeicteása Máire taobh eile den tsruth, x3
If you were to see Máire on the far side of the stream x 3
Is a dhá chois in airde ag an rógaire dubh!
And the black rogue's two legs high up in the air!
