Mo Ghile Mear (Our Hero)

From the album Long Black Veil by The Chieftains
Arrangement by Paddy Moloney
English lyric translations by Sean MacReamoinn

(Note: The chorus of the song is sung in Gaelic while the rest is sung in English. The Gaelic lyrics are accurate, but the English lyrics are currently incomplete and conjectural.)


Chorus:
'Se/ mo laoch, mo Ghile Mear
'Se/ mo Chaesar  Gile Mear
Suan na/ se/an ni/ bhfuaireas fe/in
O/ chuaigh i gce/in mo Ghile Mear

Grief and pain are all I know
My heart is sore
My tears a'flow
We saw him go ....
No word we know of him...
Chorus

A proud and gallant cavalier
A high man's scion of gentle mien
A fiery blade engaged to reap
He'd break the bravest in the field
Chorus

Come sing his praise as sweet harps play
And proudly toast his noble frame
With spirit and with mind aflame
So wish him strength and length of day
Chorus
