W:Sl\'an do chuirim o'm chroidhe leat, a bhaile tar taoide anonn,--
W:Go gleannt\'an Araglin aoibhinn mar a scaiptheare an fionn 'sa leann;
W:Ba bhinne liom gl\'or na ngadhar ann gach maidin bhog aoibhinn che\'odhach

W:Translation:
W:I send a farewell from my heart to thee, thou little spot over there beyond the sea,
W:To the pretty little vale of Araglin, where the wine and the ale are plentifully poured out.
W:Sweeter to me was the cry of the hounds there, on a m ild misty morning,
W:Than [the melody of] that man [Orpheus] who used to overcome the beasts with the powers and the spells of his songs.
