Óró, Sé Do Bheatha 'Bhaile

Written by Padraig Pearse

Irish English
Curfá: Chorus:
Óró, sé do bheatha abhaile Oh-ro You're welcome home
Óró, sé do bheatha abhaile Oh-ro You're welcome home
Óró, sé do bheatha abhaile Oh-ro You're welcome home
Anois ar theacht an tsamhraidh! Now that summer's coming!
   
'Sé do bheatha, a bhean ba léanmhar Welcome oh woman who was so afflicted
Do b' é ár gcreach tú bheith i ngéibheann It was our ruin that you were in bondage
Do dhúiche bhreá i seilbh méirleach Our fine land in the possession of thieves
Is tú díolta leis na Gallaibh! And you sold to the foreigners!
   
Curfá Chorus
   
Tá Gráinne Mhaol ag teacht thar sáile Gráinne O'Malley is coming over the sea
Óglaigh armtha léi mar gharda Armed warriors along with her as her guard
Gaeil iad féin is ní Gaill ná Spáinnigh They are Irishmen, not foreigners nor Spanish
Is cuirfidh siad ruaig ar Ghallaibh! And they will rout the foreigners!
   
Curfá Chorus
   
A bhuí le Rí na bhFeart go bhfeiceam May it please the King of Miracles that we might see
Mura mbeam beo ina dhiaidh ach seachtain Although we may live for a week once after
Gráinne Mhaol agus míle gaiscíoch Gráinne Mhaol and a thousand warriors
Ag fógairt fáin ar Ghallaibh! Dispersing the foreigners!
   
Curfá Chorus
