Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Curfá: Chorus:
Óró 's é do bheatha 'bhaile Óró, you are welcome home
Óró 's é do bheatha 'bhaile Óró, you are welcome home
Óró 's é do bheatha 'bhaile Óró, you are welcome home
Anois ar theacht an tsamhraidh Now at the coming of summer
   
'S é do bheatha, a bhean ba léanmhar Oh welcome home, my troubled woman
B'é ár gcreach tú 'bheith i ngéibhinn Through your plight we feel great anguish
Do dhúthaigh bhreá i seibh méirleach Your fine lands in enemy hands
'S tú díolta leis na Gallaibh And betrayed to the English
   
(Curfá) (Chorus)
   
Tá Gráinne Mhaol ag teacht thar sáile Gráinne Mhaol coms over the sea
Óglaigh armtha léi mar gharda Well-armed legions there to guard her
Gaeil iad féin is ní gaill ná Spáinnigh No Spanish, English, but Gaels all
Is cuirfidh siad ruaig ar Ghallaibh To rid us of our foe
   
(Curfá) (Chorus)
   
A bhuí le Rí na bhfeart go bhfeicim I pray that I will live to see
Mura mbheinn beo 'na dhiaidh ach seachtain Should I live but one week longer
Gráinne Mhaol is míle gaiscíoch Gráinne Mhaol and a thousand warriors
Ag fógairt fáin ar Ghallaibh Wage war on the foreign aggressor
   
(Curfá 3x) (Chorus 3x)
