Slán le Máigh

words as in Seán Óg and Manus Ó Baoill, "Ceolta Gael", Cork, Mercier Press (first editiion, 1975, has been reprinted). This song has been recorded by Na Casadaigh. note all the alliteration

Ó slán is céad ón taobh seo uaim
cois Máigh na gcaor na gcraobh na gcruach
na stát na séad na saor na slua
na ndán na ndreacht na dtréan gan ghruaim.

curfá/chorus:
Och, och, ochón, is breoite mise
gan chuid gan chóir gan choip gan choiste
gan sult gan seod gan spórt gan spionnadh
ó seoladh mé chun uaignis.

Slán go héag dá saorfhir shuairc
dá dáimh dá cléir dá héigs' dá sua
do m'chairde cléibh gan chlaon gan chluain
gan cháim gan cháin gan chraos gan chruas.
