English Translation of Padraig Pearse Version:

Oh-ro You are welcome home,
Oh-ro You are welcome home,
Oh-ro You are welcome home,
Now that summer’s coming!

Chorus

Welcome lady who faced such troubles
Your capture brought us to our ruin
With our fine land usurped by thieves
And you sold to the foreigners!

Chorus

Gráinne O’Malley comes over the sea,
With armed warriors as her guard
They’re Irishmen – not French nor Spanish
And they will rout the foreigners!

Chorus

May it please dear God that we might see,
Even if we only live for week after,
Gráinne Mhaol and a thousand warriors –
Routing all the foreigners!

Chorus
