ARDAIDH CUAIN. Irish, Air. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Ardaidh Cuain (Ardí Cuan or Ardicoan) is a townland in County Antrim, situated on a hill above Knocknacarry and Cushendun in the north-east part of the county.

Ardí Cuan (from, Ceolta Gael, ed. Seán óg and Manus O Baoill)

Da mbeinn féin in Airdí Cuan
in aice an tsléibhe úd 'tá i bhfad uaim
b'annamh liom gan dul ar cuairt
go Gleann na gcuach Dé Domhnaigh.

Curfá Agus och, och Éire 'lig is ó
Éire lonndubh agus ó
is é mo chroi 'tá trom is é brónach.

Is iomaí Nollaig 'bhi mé féin
i mbun abhann Doinne is mé gan chéill
ag iomáin ar an trá bhán
is mo chamán bán i mo dhorn liom.
Curfá
Nach tuirseach mise anseo liom féin
nach n-airim guth coiligh, londubh nó traon,
gaelbhán, smaolach, naoscach féin,
is chan aithnim féin an Domhnach.
Curfá
Dá mbeadh agam féin ach coit is rámh
nó go n-iomarfainn ar an tsámh
ag dúil as Dia go sroichfinn slán
is go bhfaighinn bás in Éirinn.
Curfá
