lyrics

I ngleannta séimh na héigse a bhím,
I bhfanntais péin i ngéibh' gach laoi,
An tseanbhean ghlé ba bhéasach gnaoi,
Do scanraigh mé, pé'n Éirinn í, pé'n Éirinn í.

Is breá, deas, dréimreach, réidh a dlaoi,
go barr an fhéir ina slaod ar bís;
A tláthfholt réidh de dhéalramh an flíos,
Ar ghrá mo chléibh, pé'n Éirinn í, pé'n Éirinn í.

Ar nóin nuair a théim ar thaobh Suí Finn
Faoi bhrón i gcéin is gan aon de mo bhuíon
Cé sheolfadh Aon Mhac Dé i mo líon
Ach stór mo chléibh, pé'n Éirinn í, pé'n Éirinn í.
