Hail the Hero (Mo Ghile Mear) Songtext
von Celtic Thunder

Chant:
O-Ro, Ri na bhfarraige,
Ri na bhfarraige
Na bhfarraige mhoir Ro! (2)

Chorus
Se mo laoch mo ghile mear,
Se mo cheasar, gile mear,
Suan no Sean, Ni bhfuair me fhein
O chuaidh i gcein mo ghile mear


Hail the hero, strong and true,
Who fought the fight, and saw it through,
Who swore he ne′er would be a slave
And gave his life our land to save.

Chorus

Tho' bruised and bowed and down at heel,
We made a vow we′d never kneel,
Before the invader's power and might,
With the flame of freedom burning bright.

Chorus

From our wild Atlantic shore,
Above the mighty ocean's roar.
Let′s sing from the highest mountain side
Of heroes who fill our hearts with pride.
