- The song I sing is a song of home
A song of Roísín Dubh
Of glade and glen of ford and fen
Of rock and of mountain blue
Of the signs that stand over all the land
To tell of the long ago
Let your voices ring in the song I sing
Sean-Éire na nGaetheal go deo.Chorus
Hurrah! the night is ended
We see the dawn's red glow.
Oh! shout it high tis a free man's cry
Sean-Éire na nGaedheal go deo.II
I sing of every hill and dale, of rock
and tower and town.
Where brave men tried, where brave men died
To tear the red rag down
From Kerry brave to the wildest wave
Where Lagan's waters flow
From Teamhair na Ríogh to the winding Lee
Sean Éire na nGaedheal go deo.(continues on next page)
