O Sweet Comeraghs, Karan Casey, A Chomaraigh Aoibhinn.Mo bheannacht óm' chroí
Dod' thir 's dod' shléibhte
A chomaraigh aoibhinn ó

Is dod' mhuintir shuairc
Ar dual dóibh féile
A chomaraigh aoibhinn ó

Do shrutháin gheala
'S do choillte craobhach
Do ghleannta meala
'S do bhánta léire

Ó grá mo chroí
Iad siúd le chéile
A chomaraigh aoibhinn ó
Is dathúil breá
Do chruacha scéimchruth
A chomaraigh aoibhinn ó

Nuair a lasaid suas
Le hamharc gréine
A chomaraigh aoibhinn ó

Na faillte 's leacain
Ar gach taobh diot
Mar bhrata sróil
Le seolta gleásta
Nuair a scaipeann an drúcht
Anuas ón spéir ort
A chomaraigh aoibhinn ó
Do bhíos thar sáile
Seal i gcéin uait
A chomaraigh aoibhinn ó

I ndúthaigh fáin
Ag déanamh saoithair
A chomaraigh aoibhinn ó

Ach b'obair tháir liom
Cnuasach gréithre
I bhfad óm' ait
Fé scáil do shléibhte
Is chas mé arís ort
A phlúr na nDéise
A chomaraigh aoibhinn ó

Lyrics: 

My heartfelt blessings 
On your valleys and mountains 
Sweet Comeragh

And on your cheeful people 
So naturally kind
Sweet Comeragh 

On your shining streams
And your leafy woodlands
Your honeyed slopes 

And your gleaming meadows 
My heart fills with love
For all of them surely 
Sweet Comeragh 

Your rugged peaks 
Are a handsome sight 
Sweet Comeragh

As the rising sun 
Sets them aflame 
Sweet Comeragh

Cliffs and steep slopes 
In every direction 
Like a satin weave 

From a magic loom 
As the dew falls 
From the heavens high 
Sweet Comeragh

I was a while away 
From your beauty 
Sweet Comeragh 

Slaving so hard 
In a foreign land 
Sweet Comeragh 

Base work it was 
Just making a living 
Far from my home 

'Neath the shade of your mountains 
So I came back to you 
The flower of the Déise
Sweet Comeragh
