Bhí clog sa chill is níor bhinn clog é..

<< Had fierce Garbh Doire heard the sound of a bell in this western chapel,
he would have soon gone in and broken the clerics bell.
Had Fionn, the warrior, heard the sound of thy little bell,
Cleric, he would assuredly have gone to meet you
and you would not have been able to escape.
Had Conan of the Fiana heard the note of this bell
that comes to me from the west,
though all the clerics of the world had been present
they would all have been dead.
Had dear Caoilte heard it,
a man who did not refuse battle,
he would have gone in, no lie, and broken your little bells.
I am Oisin, Fionn's good son: I believe in the God above, 0 Tailgeann.
Though tonight I am without the Fian,
without wealth, the bell's note gives me pain.>>

The Chapel Bell played by Mary MacNamara on Geantrai

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbfNw1rg0Ds starting around 3:40. She calls it "Tommy McCarthy's", and plays it in D dorian (as does Claire Keville on "The Daisy Field").

Here's an approximation of Mary's version:
