Lyrics

Eire

[Verse 1]

In the land of Eireann

Well, sat the high king

Faced with the problems

The dreaded vikings

[Verse 2]

Gather all the men folk

Speaking the Celtic tongue

The land is Eireann

The land is young

[Verse 3]

Stands Red O'Donnell

Fighting the Saxon foe

With Hugh O'Neil

Oh

[Verse 4]

All along the north land

They fight bitterly

The land is Eireann

The land is free
