Mo Ghile Mear (My Gallant Star)

'Sé mo laoch mo ghile mear

Bonnie boy, ghile mear

You will be my gallant star

Oh haste to me, mo ghile mear

In this land, this land unfree

Oh, who will fain to unchain me?

My children keened in vain for thee

To break my chains for liberty

'Sé mo laoch mo ghile mear

Bonnie boy, ghile mear

You will be my gallant star

Oh, haste to me, mo ghile mear

Mountains high, and valleys low

The cuckoo sings of Saxon foe

'Tis you must strike the mortal blow

Mo ghile mear, mo buachaill beo

'Sé mo laoch mo ghile mear

Bonnie boy, ghile mear

You will be my gallant star

Oh, haste to me, mo ghile mear

So come my love to battle come

To this fair land so weary sung

Let harp and song the valleys hum

And sound the sound of freedom's drum

'Sé mo laoch mo ghile mear

Bonnie boy, ghile mear

You will be my gallant star

Oh, haste to me, mo ghile mear

'Sé mo laoch mo ghile mear

Bonnie boy, ghile mear

You will be my gallant star

Oh, haste to me, mo ghile mear

'Sé mo laoch mo ghile mear

Bonnie boy, ghile mear

You will be my gallant star

Oh, haste to me, mo ghile mear

You will be my gallant star

Oh, haste to me, mo ghile mear
