FioN. " Mun leigeadh mide leis thu ionbhuin, 



" Dean fa fuidhe air mo fgathfa, 



" A ninghean ga granda do chomhradh ; 



" Man tabhair am fear mor thu leis, 



" Ga mor leat do dhoigh as fhieabhas." 



Chunnaic fmne fada uain, 



Fear mor is aig caitheamh a chuain, 



A tarruing a luing gu traigh, 



'Sa tochid chugainne le hanmein. 



Gum be fud am fear mor malda, 



Na ftuagh theinigh, alluidh, allmarra, 



Le fraoch feirge gu Fiannaibli Fhinn, 



Se tochd mar chaoir theinne chugain. 



Bha luireach ard, irfeach, uaibhreach, 



Bha threin fgabal gu breac buailteach, 



Bha cheannbheart chlochara, flieimhidh, 



Os cinn aghaidh fhocruidhe mhin. 



Bha eitidh don tfrol mun fhear 



Ceamhfaiche fide ga cheangal. 



A dha fhleagh om bun bu cruaidh roinn 



Is iad nan cuilg fheafamh fuas ri ghualuinn. 



Bha fgiath chruaidh neam-brifteadh, bladh, 



Ann an dorn toifgeil a mhili. 



Thug e ruadhar fir gun cheill, 



Is cha do bheannuigh fe d' Fhionn na 'n Fheinn. 



Marbh e ceud do Fhiannaibh Fhinn, 



Agus mhairbhte leis an ionbhuinn. 



Cheangail e Faodhlan mac Fhinn 



Agus tri naodhnar ga luchd leanmhuin, 



Ga chinneach mor, meanmneach, mear. 



'S bha lo'Han gu harmach, eatrom. 



Thiundaidh Ofgar air an leirg. 



Mo mhac, is ^ Ian do throm fheirg, 



Sann an fin a dfhuabair e comhrag 



On laoch bhofgeal, mhio-narach. 



Thiundaidh lollan ri mac fein, 



Sgu ndeanta leo comhrag treun.
