Mise Éire 

Poem by Pádraig Pearse

Music by Patrick Cassidy

Mise Éire
Sine mé ná an Chailleach Bhéarra

Mise Éire
Uaigní mé ná an Chailleach Bhéarra

Mór mo ghlóir
Mé a rug Cú Chulainn cróga.

Mór mo náir
Mo chlann féin a dhíol a máthair.

Mór mo bhrón
D'éag an dream inar chuireas dóchas.

Mise Éire
Sine mé ná an Chailleach Bhéarra

Mise Éire
Uaigní mé ná an Chailleach Bhéarra

I am Ireland
I am older than the Hag of Beara.

I am Ireland
I am lonelier than the Hag of Beara.

Great my glory
I who bore brave Cúchulainn.

Great my shame
My own children that sold their mother.

Great my sorrow
That crowd, in whom I placed my trust, decayed.

I am Ireland
I am older than the Hag of Beara.

I am Ireland:
I am lonelier than the Hag of Beara
