Roisin Dubh/Mise Éire lyrics
by The Irish Brigade
[Verse 1 - spoken- Irish]
Mise Éire
Mise Éire:
Sine mé ná an Chailleach Bhéarra
Mór mo ghlóir:
Mé a rug Cú Chulainn cróga
Mór mo náir:
Mo chlann féin a dhÃol a máthair
Mise Éire:
Uaignà mé ná an Chailleach Bhéarra
[Verse 2 - spoken- English]
I am Ireland:
I am older than the old woman of Beara
Great is my glory:
I that bore Cú Chulainn the brave
Great is my shame:
My only children sold their mother
I am Ireland:
I am lonelier than the old woman of Beara
