Cór Thaobh a' Leithid by Siansaí [ As Gaelige song lyrics ]

Char bhé'n sneachta ná ár siocán aduaidh
Char bhéideán géar fuar ón oirhear
Char bhé'n fhearthainn á bhlúchann aniar
ach an galar a tháinig aneas.

Bláth, duilliúr stoc agus fréamh,
De theangaidh mo bhunú's mo threibh,
Tar chugainn 'nár gcuideachta aniar,
Nó go gcluin sinn ann teangaidh na nGael.

Tar chugainn 'nár gcuideachta aniar,
Nó go gcluin sinn ann teangaidh na nGael.

Tabhair anuas dúinn ná coinnleorí óir,
Is iontu cuir coinnie geal céir,
Las suas iad i seomra an bhróin,
Teach faire shean teangaidh na nGael,

Sin a dúirt ár námhaid fadó
Ach maireann beo teangaidh na nGael
Tar chugainn 'nár gcuideachta aniar
Nó go gcluin sinn ann teangaidh na nGael

Tar chugainn 'nár gcuideachta aniar,
Nó go gcluin sinn ann teangaidh na nGael.

Gidh gur theith sí lena h-anam ón ghleann,
Gidh gur annamh a chluintear í níos mó,
Ó dhúiche Mhic Aoidh fada Ó thuaidh,
Go mbíonn tú i nDruim Uachtar na mBó

Ach tá gá sna h-oileain thiar
Le claidheamh agus sciath in ár ndorn
Tar chugainn 'nár gcuideachta aniar,
Nó go gcluin sinn ann teangaidh na nGael.

Tar chugainn 'nár gcuideachta aniar,
Nó go gcluin sinn ann teangaidh na nGael.

Gidh nach gcluintear í anois ins an dún,
Nó i hallaí na mbard is na gcorn,
Gidh go bhfuil méara Chlann Uí Chriomáin gan Iuth,
Tráth bhíodh siad go ciúin dóirteadh ceoil.

Gidh go bhfuil sí i gcontúirt a báis,
Go fóill is í céad chaint an tsluaigh 
Tar chugainn 'nár gcuideachta aniar,
Nó go gcluin sinn ann teangaidh na nGael.

Tar chugainn 'nár gcuideachta aniar,
Nó go gcluin sinn ann teangaidh na nGael.
Tar chugainn 'nár gcuideachta aniar,
Nó go gcluin sinn ann teangaidh na nGael.
