Ta Gráinne Mhaol ag teacht thar saile
Oglaigh armtha lei mar gharda
Gaeil iad féin is ne Gaill na Spainnigh
Is cuirfidh siad ruaig ar Ghallaidh
A bhui ie Ri na bhfeart bo bhfeiceam
Muna mbiom beo ina dheoidh ach seachtain
Grainne Mhaol is mile gaiscioch
Ag fógairt fain ar Ghallaibh
Or Se Do Bheatha Bhaile in English
OH WELCOME HOME
Welcome lady of great sorrow
We share the grief of your internment
Your fair land in the
hands of brigands
And you in bondage to strangers
CHORUS: Oh, welcome home
Oh, welcome home
Oh, welcome home
Now
the summer is coming.
Grannie Mhoal (Grace O'Malley) is crossing the ocean
With armed warriors as her guard
Gaels
are they not French nor Spaniards
They will overwhelm to the foreigners. CHORUS
Thank heaven's king that we shall
see
Even though we die soon after (the next week)
Grannie Mhoal and a thousand warriors
Herald the stranger's retreat.
CHORUS
