Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Curfá: Chorus:
Óró, sé do bheatha 'bhaile Óró, you are welcome home
Óró, sé do bheatha 'bhaile Óró, you are welcome home
Óró, sé do bheatha 'bhaile Óró, you are welcome home
Anois ar theacht an tsamhraidh Now at the coming of summer
   
Sé 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 seilbh 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 comes 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
'S cuirfid ruaig ar Ghallaibh To rid us of our foe
   
(Curfá) (Chorus)
   
Óró, sé do bheatha 'bhaile, óró... Óró, you are welcome home, óró...
   
A bhuí le Rí na bhfeart go bhfeiceam I pray that I will live to see
Muna mbeam beo 'na dhiaidh ach seachtain Should I live but one week longer
Gráinne Mhaol agus míle gaiscíoch Gráinne Mhaol and a thousand warriors
Ag fógairt fáin ar Ghallaibh Wage war on the foreign aggressor
   
(Curfá 3x) (Chorus 3x)
   
Tá Gráinne Mhaol ag teacht thar sáile... Gráinne Mhaol comes over the sea...
