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
