Rí do shaoil
mar chraobh ghlas, mé féin
ar chrann a bhí suite i ngleann dubh
'S an guth binn bhí fial
i ndóchas mo chléibh
'S tú teanga mo mhuintir 's mo shaoil romham

Dealramh go deo
ar fhada beo
Dealramh go deo
mar loinnir beo
Dealramh go deo
Loinnreadh sa cheo
dealramh go deo

Nach cuma cá háit a théim,
i mbaile nó i gcéin,
's mé ag éisteacht le ceolta mo thíre
Le mothú, brón is brí
Cuir lúcháir ar mo chroí
'S tú ceol mo shinsear 's mo shaoil romham

Dealramh go deo
ar fhada beo
Dealramh go deo
mar loinnir beo
Dealramh go deo
loinnreadh sa cheo
Dealramh go deo

Dealramh go deo
ar fhada beo
Dealramh go deo
mar loinnir beo
Dealramh go deo
loinnreadh sa cheo
Dealramh go deo

Dealramh go deo
ar fhada beo
Dealramh go deo
mar loinnir beo
Dealramh go deo
loinnreadh sa cheo
Dealramh go deo

King of your life,
like myself, a green branch
on a tree that stood in a dark glen
And the sweet gentle voice
Hope of my heart
You're the language of my people and my life before me

Shine forever
ever alive
Shine forever
mike a living glow
Shine forever
bright in the mist
Shine forever

No matter where I go,
at home or afar
I listen to the music of my country
With feeling, sadness and meaning,
it puts joy in my heart
You're the music of my ancestors and my life before me

Shine forever
ever alive
Shine forever
mike a living glow
Shine forever
bright in the mist
Shine forever

Shine forever
ever alive
Shine forever
mike a living glow
Shine forever
bright in the mist
Shine forever

Shine forever
ever alive
Shine forever
mike a living glow
Shine forever
bright in the mist
Shine forever
