Welcome Home

Oro Se do Bheatha 'Bhaile

Welcome home, my dear wife!Se do bheatha a bhean ba leanmhar!
You were our ruin, caught in a trap,B'e ar gcreach tu bheith I ngeibhinn,
Your beautiful land in the hands of thievesDo dhuiche bhrea I seilbh meirleach
And you sold out to the foreigners.'S tu diolta leis na ghallaibh

Oh, welcome home!Oro, se do bheatha 'bhaile!
Oh, welcome home!Oro, se do bheatha 'bhaile!
Oh, welcome home!Oro, se do bheatha 'bhaile!
Now that summer's here.Anois ar theacht an tsamhraidh

The fair-haired girl is coming across the seaTa grainne mhaol ag teacht thar saile
With armed soldiers as her guard.Oglaigh armtha lei mar gharda
They’re Gaels themselves, not Spanish fools,Gaeil iad fein 's ni gaill na spainnigh
And they’ll drive the foreigners away.'S cuirfid siad ruaig ar ghallaibh

If we’re alive to see the king’s reign,A bhui le ri na bhfeart go bhfeiceam
If we’re alive after just a week,Muna mbeam beo 'na dhiaidh ach seachtain
The fair-haired girl and a thousand warriorsGrainne mhaol agus mile gaiscioch
Will be calling for the foreigners.Ag fogairt fain ar ghallaibh

Oh, welcome home!Oro, se do bheatha 'bhaile!
Oh, welcome home!Oro, se do bheatha 'bhaile!
Oh, welcome home!Oro, se do bheatha 'bhaile!
Now that summer's here.Anois ar theacht an tsamhraidh
