Lyrics:
Chorus
Sé mo laoch mo ghile mear
Sé mo shaesar, ghile mear
Ní fhuaras féin aon tsuan nó séan
Ó chuaigh I gcéin mo ghile mear.
Verse 1
In this land this land unfree
Oh who will fein to unchain me
My children keyed in vein for thee
to break the chains for liberty
Verse 2
Mountains high and valleys low
The cuckoo sings of Saxon foe
'Tis you must strike the mortal blow
Mo ghile mear mo bhuachaill beo
Verse 3
Come my love to battle come
To this fair land so weary snug
Let harp and song the valley hum
And sound the sound of freedoms drum.
