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)

Dá 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
