Chorus: Phonetically (sung between each verse)
A D A
Shay mu laych maw ghilleh marr
D A D E
Shay mo haze ah ghille marr
A D A
Soon naw shane ne vore aspheyne
D A E A
O cchuey again maw ghilleh marr
'Sé mo laoch, mo Ghile Mear,
'Sé mo Chaesar, Ghile Mear,
Suan ná séan ní bhfuaireas féin
Ó chuaigh i gcéin mo Ghile Mear.
A D A
Grief and pain are all I know
A D E
My heart is sore my tears will flow
A D A
We saw him go an buachaill beo
D A D E
No word we know of him ochóin
A proud young son of several year
A high born son Of gentle mean
A fiery blade engaged to me
It break the brave a still naw feel
I'll sing his praise as sweet harps play
And proudly toast his noble fame
Whose spirit and with mind aflame
Salvation strength and length of days
