    I
    Today on Breffni's sacred soil
    my brother Gaels we stand
    Descendant's of the ancient race who once possessed our land,
    The children of the heroic men who true to Erins cause,
    Defied the foreign tyrany's power, and laughed at all his law.
    Who in defence of fatherland in many a bloody brae,
    Red with their hearts'
    best blood bedewed the
    Highlands of Corlea.
