Lyrics

Se do bheatha a bhean ba leanmhar!
B’e ar gcreach tu bheith i ngeibhinn,
Do dhuiche bhrea i seilbh meirleach
'S tu diolta leis na Ghallaibh.
Oro, se do bheatha 'bhaile!
Oro, se do bheatha 'bhaile!
Oro, se do bheatha 'bhaile!
Anois ar theacht an tsamhraidh.
Ta Grainne Mhaol ag teacht thar saile,
Oglaigh armtha lei mar gharda;
Gaeil iad fein 's ni Gaill na Spainnigh,
'S cuirfid siad ruaig ar Ghallaibh.
A bhui le Ri na bhfeart go bhfeiceam,
Muna mbeam beo 'na dhiaidh ach seachtain,
Grainne Mhaol agus mile gaiscioch
Ag fogairt fain ar Ghallaibh.

Lyrics translation

Se your occupation a woman was leanmhar!
B’e on the prey you in bondage,
Your dhuiche bhrea in the possession of a bandit
'S tu work published with the Foreigners.
Oro, se your life 'home!
Oro, se your life 'home!
Oro, se your life 'home!
Now the arrival of the summer.
Ta Grainne Blunt come over brine,
Oglaigh armed lei as a guard;
Irish are own 's not Foreigners the Spainnigh,
'S cuirfid they rout on the Foreigners.
A bhui le Ri of miracles that I might see,
If mbeam live after just a week,
Grainne Blunt and mile gaiscioch
At fogairt fain to Foreigners.
