Ireland Longs To Be Free - Eimhéar Ní Ghlacaín

[Chorus]
Oh, Ireland it longs to be free, from the mountain down to the see,
Whether your hand is on the ballot box or you hand is on the gun,
Singing, tiocfaidh ár lá, you know our day will come,
Singing, tiocfaidh ár lá, you know our day will come.

[Verse]
Of Galeite anois, it is our native tongue,
The more they try to crush it the stronger we become,
So seas suas agus fight on, come on the girls from Cumann na mBan,
Tiocfaidh ár lá, you know our day will come.

[Chorus]
Oh, Ireland it longs to be free, from the mountain down to the see,
Whether your hand is on the ballot box or you hand is on the gun,
Singing, tiocfaidh ár lá, you know our day will come,
Singing, tiocfaidh ár lá, you know our day will come.

[Verse]
Are the politicians failing this land?
Are they playing into Britain's greedy hand?
Your time has come, you've had your say, should've left it to the IRA,
Tiocfaidh ár lá, you know our day will come.

[Chorus]
Oh, Ireland it longs to be free, from the mountain down to the see,
Whether your hand is on the ballot box or you hand is on the gun,
Singing, tiocfaidh ár lá, you know our day will come,
Singing, tiocfaidh ár lá, you know our day will come.

[Verse]
Oh, and still the day internment by remand another generations suffers under British hands,
Your strip searching, isolation, you'll never break their determination,
Tiocfaidh ár lá, you know our day will come,
Singing, tiocfaidh ár lá, do you remember '81.

[Chorus]
Oh, Ireland it longs to be free, from the mountain down to the see,
Whether your hand is on the ballot box or you hand is on the gun,
Singing, tiocfaidh ár lá, you know our day will come,

[Chorus]
Oh, Ireland it longs to be free, from the mountain down to the see,
Whether your hand is on the ballot box or you hand is on the gun,
Singing, tiocfaidh ár lá, you know our day will come,
Singing, tiocfaidh ár lá, you know our day will come,
Singing, tiocfaidh ár lá, you know our day will come.
