| Lyrics : | English Translation : |
| Chorus : | |
| Low ro ho ro | Low ro ho ro |
| Glór na Gael | The Irish voice |
| Low ro ho ro | Low ro ho ro |
| Éist le glór Dé | Listen to God's voice |
|
A sea journey takes him across
Takes our hero across With the word in his heart Lonely he prayed on the hill Night and day, a hundred times A hundred times and more |
|
|
And the voice he heard calling
To plant the light of life The light on the hill |
|
| (Chorus 2x) | |
|
A mission of faith sounds the bell
Brought a holy man with dreams With his dreams for this island Letters he left to declare This was his promised land It's the land that was chosen |
|
|
The voice and his message
Still lives a thousand years A thousand years and more |
|
| (Chorus 3x) |
