| Se do bheatha a bhean ba leanmhar!
| Long live his most enduring wife!
|
| B’e ar gcreach tu bheith i ngeibhinn,
| You were a prey to the captivity,
|
| Do dhuiche bhrea i seilbh meirleach
| Your beautiful land in the possession of thieves
|
| 'S tu diolta leis na Ghallaibh.
| You are sold to the Caithnesses.
|
| Oro, se do bheatha 'bhaile!
| Oro, it's your home life!
|
| Oro, se do bheatha 'bhaile!
| Oro, it's your home life!
|
| Oro, se do bheatha 'bhaile!
| Oro, it's your home life!
|
| Anois ar theacht an tsamhraidh.
| Now that summer has arrived.
|
| Ta Grainne Mhaol ag teacht thar saile,
| Grainne Mhaol is coming over the sea,
|
| Oglaigh armtha lei mar gharda;
| Armed with her as a guard;
|
| Gaeil iad fein 's ni Gaill na Spainnigh,
| They are Gaels themselves and not the Gaels of Spain,
|
| 'S cuirfid siad ruaig ar Ghallaibh.
| And they will drive away the foreigners.
|
| A bhui le Ri na bhfeart go bhfeiceam,
| Thanks to the King of miracles that I may see,
|
| Muna mbeam beo 'na dhiaidh ach seachtain,
| If I live only a week after that,
|
| Grainne Mhaol agus mile gaiscioch
| Grainne Mhaol and a thousand warriors
|
| Ag fogairt fain ar Ghallaibh. | Scattering the foreigners. |
