"Mo Ghile Mear (My Gallant Star)" lyrics

'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
