    Ulster pronunciation

    Kay-hay shin a-mwee, a will fweear air ah ggoo
    Ah ray-boo muh ggor-ish ggoon-tah?
    Mi-sha Ay-mon a Hkrik a-taw baw-cha fooar flyukh
    Oh heer byoo-il shlayv-ta iss glan-ta
    A lee yil iss a khw-idge kod a yayn-hin-shi dich
    Mu-ra gur-hin ort bin deh muh ggoon-ah,
    Sgo will pood-ar go tyoov aw heeir hay-joo lyat
    Iss go meh-mish a-ree-ee-in moo-kht-a

    Iss-fah-dah mi-sha a-mwee fw-ee h'nokh-tass fwee hyuk
    Iss gon dawn-okht og-um air a-y-on nyakh
    Muh hesh-rakk gon skor, muh vran-ar nyakh,
    Muh hesh-rakh gon skor, muh vran-ar gon khur
    Iss gon ayad og-um air ay-on khor
    Neel kar-id og-um iss dan-id lum san
    Ah gglack-oo may mo-kh naw ja-y-nokh
    Iss go guy-hee may dul h-ar fa-ri-ga shir
    O' iss on nokh wil ayon deh muh gge-elta


    Note: In Irish Gaelic, the long a (ay as in hay) doesn't have the ee sound at the end of it as the long a does in American English but is more like eh.

    gg is a gutteral g made in the back of the throat.

    oo is like the oo in book.

    The ch in chnoic (and certain other Irish words) sounds a lot like k, but as with gg, it's a k sound made in the back of the throat (kh) like the ch the Scottish word, loch. (By the way, the n in chnoic is pronounced as an r (chnoic = khrik).

    u is like the u in run

    o' with accent is a long vowel as in go

    a is like the a in lap

    e is like the e in get

    i is like the i in tin
