Anois ar theacht an tsamhraidh!
Óró ‘Sé do bheatha ‘bhaile,
Óró ‘Sé do bheatha ‘bhaile,
Óró ‘Sé do bheatha ‘bhaile,
Anois ar theacht an tsamhraidh!
‘Sé do bheatha a bhean ba léanmhar,
B’é ár gcreach tú bheith i ngéibhinn,
Do dhúiche bhreá i seilibh meirleach...
Is tú díolta leis na Gallaibh!
Chorus
Tá Gráinne Mhaol ag teacht thar sáile,
Óglaigh armtha léi mar gharda,
Gaeil iad féin is ní Gaill ná Spáinnigh...
Is cuirfidh siad ruaig ar Ghallaibh!
Chorus
A bhuí le Rí na bhFeart go bhfeiceann,
Muna mbíonn beo ina dhiaidh ach seachtain,
Gráinne Mhaol is míle gaiscíoch...
Ag fógairt fáin ar Ghallaibh!
Chorus
This song dates back to Jacobite times where it was sang about prince Charles Edward Stuart. Pádraig Pearse gave the song new lyrics relating to Grace O'Malley's exploits.
The song has been performed by The dubliners, The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem, Sinead O'Connor and The Fureys amongst others.
