[Verse]
The song I sing is a song of home, a song of Roisin Dubh,
Of glade and glen, of ford and fen, of lake and of mountain blue,
Of signs that stand over all the land, to tell of a long ago,
Let your voices ring in the song I sing, "Sean-Eire na nGaedheal go deo!"
[Chorus]
Hurrah! The night is ended, we see the dawn's red glow,
Oh, shout it high, tis a freeman's cry, "Sean-Eire na nGaedheal go deo!"
[Verse]
I sing of every wood and stream, of tower, and vale, and town,
When brave men died, where brave men tried to tear the red rag down,
From Cilarraidhe brave to the winding wave where Lagan waters flow,
From Teamhair na Riogh to the winding Laoi, "Sean-Eire na nGaedheal go deo!"
[Chorus]
Hurrah! The night is ended, we see the dawn's red glow,
Oh, shout it high, tis a freeman's cry, "Sean-Eire na nGaedheal go deo!"
[Verse]
I raise a rann to the ones who tread the path to the dawning day,
Who will pause no more till our native shore, is free from the Saxon sway,
From every hill and from every rill the freedom's cry shall go,
From old and young, in the Gaelic tongue, "Sean-Eire na nGaedheal go deo!"
[Chorus]
Hurrah! The night is ended, we see the dawn's red glow,
Oh, shout it high, tis a freeman's cry, "Sean-Eire na nGaedheal go deo!"
Oh, shout it high, tis a freeman's cry, "Sean-Eire na nGaedheal go deo!".
