  1. Amhrán (continued)

    Ag gabhail trí Blá' Clíatha dom go dían moch ar mhaidin

    (continued from previous page)
    (VI)
    Tá mo leanbhaídhe gan cíoradh, gan níghe ó gan glanadh
    Gan suim a cur na bhéile ó fágas a bhaile
    Bíonn síad ag rinnce le baoghais na díthcéille
    Mise ar fuid coille agus ná faghaim dul na bféachaint.

    Filemore

    These ancient rocks of sweet Filemore I never shall see more
    The school on the hillside and the chapel around the glen
    It was there in happy childhood I learned to love you so
    In this darling land of Erin where the shamrock green do grow

    (II)
    Oh, Erin, lovely Erin your sons are forced to roam
    To seek those far off countries so very far from home
    Tis not our choice to wander but the tyrant bids us go
    From this darling-land of Erin where the shamrock green do grow.
