%W: Buachaill ón Éirne me 's bhréagfainn cailín deas óg
%W: Ní iarrfainn bó spré léI tá mé fhéin saibhir go leor
%W: 'S liom Corcaigh da mhéid é, dhá thaobh a' ghleanna 's Tír Eoghain
%W: 'S mura n-athraí mé béasaí 's me n' t-oidhr' ar Chontae Mhaigh Eo
%W:
%W: Come by the hills to the land where fancy is free
%W: And stand where the peaks meet the sky and the loughs meet the sea
%W: Where the rivers run clear and the bracken is gold in the sun
%W: And the cares of tomorrow can wait till this day is done
%W:
%W: Come by the hills to the land where life is a song
%W: And stand where the birds fill the air with their joy all day long
%W: Where the trees sway in time and even the wind sings in tune
%W: And the cares of tomorrow can wait till this day is done
%W:
%W: Come by the hills to the land where legend remains
%W: The stories of old fill our hearts and may yet come again
%W: Where the past has been lost and the future is still to be won
%W: And the cares of tomorrow can wait till this day is done
