Mo Ghille Mear (My Gallant Hero)

               Lá na mara

Lá na mara nó rabharta

Guth na dtonnta a leanadh

Guth na dtonnta a leanfad ó

Lá na mara nó lom trá

Lá na mara nó rabharta

Lá an ghainimh, lom trá

Lá an ghainimh



(The day of the sea

The day of the sea or of the high tides

To follow the voice of the waves

I would follow the voice of the waves

The day of the sea or the ebb tide

The day of the sea or of the high tides

The day of the sands, the ebb tide

The day of the sands)



Can you feel the river run?

Waves are dancing to the sun

Take the tide and face the sea

And find a way to follow me



Leave the field and leave the fire

And find the flame of your desire

Set your heart on this far shore

And sing your dream to me once more



[Chorus:]

'Sé mo laoch mo ghile mear

'Sé mo Shéasar, gile mear

Suan gan séan ní bhfuair mé féin

Ó chuaigh i gcéin mo ghile mear



(He is my hero, my dashing darling

He is my Caesar, dashing darling

Rest or pleasure I did not get

Since he went far away, my darling)



Now the time has come to leave

Keep the flame and still believe

Know that love will shine through darkness

One bright star to light the wave



[Chorus]



Amhrán na farraige

Ór ar na seolta

Amhrán na farraige

Ag seoladh na bhfonnta...



(Song of the sea

Gold on the sails

Song of the sea

Sending the melodies...)



Lift your voice and raise the sail

Know that love will never fail

Know that I will sing to you

Each night as I dream of you



[Chorus]



Ag seinm na farraige

Ag seinm na farraige

(Playing the sea

Playing the sea)



Seinn... Play...



[Chorus]



Gile mear, the wind and sun

The sleep is over, dream is done

To the west where fire sets

To the gile mear, the day begun



[Chorus 2x]



Ó chuaigh i gcéin mo ghile mear

(Since he went far away, my darling)



Amhrán na farraige

Ór ar na seolta

Ag seoladh na bhfonnta

(Song of the sea

Gold on the sails

Sending the melodies)



Hey lads..isn't that blonde lass just drop dead feckin' gorgeous?? LOL
