Mo Ghile Mear (Our Hero)From the album Long Black Veil by The ChieftainsArrangement 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
