O-ro, ri na bhfarraige
Ri na bhfarraige
Na mhoir ro

Se' mo laoch mo Ghile Mear
Se' mo Cheasar, Ghile Mear,
Suan na' se'an ni' bhfuair me fe'in
O' chuaidh i gce'in mo Ghile Mear

Hail the hero, strong and true
Who fought the fight and saw it through
Who swore he ne'er would be a slave
And gave his life, our land to save

Se' mo laoch mo Ghile Mear
Se' mo Cheasar, Ghile Mear,
Suan na' se'an ni' bhfuair me fe'in
O' chuaidh i gce'in mo Ghile Mear

From our wild Atlantic shore
Above the mighty ocean's roar
Let's sing from the highest mountainside
Of heroes who fill our hearts with pride

Se' mo laoch mo Ghile Mear
Se' mo Cheasar, Ghile Mear,
Suan na' se'an ni' bhfuair me fe'in
O' chuaidh i gce'in mo Ghile Mear

Se' mo laoch mo Ghile Mear
Se' mo Cheasar, Ghile Mear,
Suan na' se'an ni' bhfuair me fe'in
O' chuaidh i gce'in mo Ghile Mear

Translation:

He's my champion my Gallant Darling,
He's my Caesar, a Gallant Darling,
I've found neither rest nor fortune
Since my Gallant Darling went far away.
