Mo Ghile Mear - Rapalje

'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

'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

Grief and pain are all I know

My heart is sore

My tears a’flow

No word we know of him…

'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

A proud and gallant cavalier

A high man’s scion of gentle mien

A fiery blade engaged to reap

He’d break the bravest in the field

'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

Come sing his praise as sweet harps play

And proudly toast his noble frame

With spirit and with mind aflame

So wish him strength and length of day

'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

'Tis my hero my swift gallant

'Tis my Caesar, quick brightness

I have not found myself sleepless

Oh, my swift glee went away

'Tis my hero my swift gallant

'Tis my Caesar, quick brightness

I have not found myself sleepless

Oh, my swift glee went away

Grief and pain are all I know

My heart is sore

My tears a’flow

No word we know of him…

'Tis my hero my swift gallant

'Tis my Caesar, quick brightness

I have not found myself sleepless

Oh, my swift glee went away

A proud and gallant cavalier

A high man’s scion of gentle mien

A fiery blade engaged to reap

He’d break the bravest in the field

'Tis my hero my swift gallant

'Tis my Caesar, quick brightness

I have not found myself sleepless

Oh, my swift glee went away

Come sing his praise as sweet harps play

And proudly toast his noble frame

With spirit and with mind aflame

So wish him strength and length of day

'Tis my hero my swift gallant

'Tis my Caesar, quick brightness

I have not found myself sleepless

Oh, my swift glee went away
