Nach mór an t-iontas a bhí ag na daoine,Ó, lampaí is coinnle á gcaitheamh ar siúl, Ag lasadh an electric seo istigh sna tithe, ’Gus d’fheicfeá an fríd is tá sé beag go leor.
Ó, tá sé tamall ó thosaigh an scheme seo, ’S tá go leor de na tithe gan solas fós, Tá call le bulbannaí is tá an costas déanta, Ach sé an wireín green seo a tharraingeos gleo.
Ag stopadh na toirní, rud atá deacair a dhéanamh, Mar tá grásta Chríost go láidir fós, Mura labhraí Geoghegan nó fear maith dlí dhaoibh, Beidh an wireín green seo ar bun go deo.
Is dhá dtéinn trí Ghaillimh nó thrí Bhleán Rí soir, ’S a theacht anoir thart timpeall thrí Órán Mhór, Ní chloisfinn focal faoin wireín green seo, Nó gur thosaigh an scheme seo istigh i Leitir Móir.
’S mura labhraí an pápa leis an ESB, Beidh an wireín green seo ar bun go deo, Ag cartadh na ngarrantaí is ag tomhais na dtithe, Is nach iomaí stróinse a d’fheicfeá i bpoll.
Ach níl aon mhaith dhom a bheith dá aithris ná bheith dá inseacht, Mar ní chreidfidh na daoine mo scéalsa fós, Go dtaga an fear údan ’s a leabhairín taobh leis, Ag bailiú an chíosa úd atá ag goil dhó.
Muise tá mé dearfach is i ndáil le bheith cinnte, Gur gearr go gcaoinfear an ola mhór, Mar pé ar bith obair a bheifeá a dhéanamh, Ag péinteáil an tí nó ag bleán na bó, Dá n-imeodh an solas uait ar bheagán cuimhne, ’S bheadh cuimhne cinn againn ar an ola mhór.
Is dhá mbrisfeadh an wire seo, ó, thíos i Luimneach, Nach mba mhaith an píosa é as Leitir Móir, Bheadh an áit dubh dorcha ar fud na tíre, Is bheadh cuimhne cinn againn ar an ola mhór.
What a surprise was the people, Oh, worn lamps candles held, This the electric lighting in indoor, And you might see the bug that is small enough.
Oh, it's some time since the beginning of this Scheme, And many of the homes still without light, Annai bulb is justified that the cost is made, But the wire it to tharraingeos green ín din.
Stop the thunder, which is difficult to do, As Christ's grace is still strong, If a good man sings or legal Geoghegan Rest, Ín The green wire this up forever.
Galway dtéinn through two or three milking King east, And coming east around three Great Oranmore, Chloisfinn not a word about this green ín wire, Or that this Scheme started inside in Leitir Mor.
And if the Pope sings with the ESB, Ín The green wire this up forever, Dig the walled fields is measuring the homes, That stróinse Many might see a hole.
But there's no good for me to have two duplicate or two to tell, For the people will not believe me yet scéalsa, Let your man yon and leabhairín alongside, Collecting the rent in question which was going twice.
Well I am positive in relation to be sure, Soon mourned that the major oil, As any such work would be done, Painting the house or milking the cows, If you decide to go the low-light memory, And we would be in the memory of the great oil.
The two broke the wire, since, below in Limerick, Not good if the piece is from Leitir Mor, Where would the dark throughout the country, We would promote a memory of the big oil.
