'Sé mo laoch, mo Ghile Mear,
'Sé mo Chaesar, Ghile Mear,
Ní bhfuaireas féin aon suan ná séan
Ó chuaigh i gcéin mo Ghile Mear.

Grief and pain and are all I know,
My heart is sore, my tears do flow
Since o'er the seas we saw him go
No news has come to ease our woe.

<chorus>

A proud and youthful chevalier,
A highland lion of gentle mien,
A firey blade, a flashing shield,
Fighting the bravest in the field.

<chorus>

To sing his praise our sweet harps play,
And proudly toast his noble name
As long as blood flows in your veins,
So wish him strength and length of days.

<chorus>

Hero whose hopes have turned to smoke,
Erin all wrapped in mourning cloak,
I watch and wait, I dread my fate,
Since my gallant laddie went away.

<chorus>
