| Curfá : | Chorus : |
| Óró, sé do bheatha 'bhaile | Óró, you are welcome home |
| Óró, sé do bheatha 'bhaile | Óró, you are welcome home |
| Óró, sé do bheatha 'bhaile | Óró, you are welcome home |
| Anois ar theacht an tsamhraidh | Now at the coming of summer |
| Sé do bheatha, a bhean ba léanmhar | Oh welcome home, my troubled woman |
| B' é ár gcreach tú bheith i ngéibhinn | Through your plight we feel great anguish |
| Do dhúthaigh bhreá i seilbh méirleach | Your fine lands in enemy hands |
| 'S tú díolta leis na Gallaibh | And betrayed to the English |
| (Curfá) | (Chorus) |
| Tá Gráinne Mhaol ag teacht thar sáile | Gráinne Mhaol comes over the sea |
| Óglaigh armtha léi mar gharda | Well-armed legions there to guard her |
| Gaeil iad féin is ní gaill ná Spáinnigh | No Spanish, English, but Gaels all |
| 'S cuirfid ruaig ar Ghallaibh | To rid us of our foe |
| (Curfá) | (Chorus) |
| Óró, sé do bheatha 'bhaile, óró... | Óró, you are welcome home, óró... |
| A bhuí le Rí na bhfeart go bhfeiceam | I pray that I will live to see |
| Muna mbeam beo 'na dhiaidh ach seachtain | Should I live but one week longer |
| Gráinne Mhaol agus míle gaiscíoch | Gráinne Mhaol and a thousand warriors |
| Ag fógairt fáin ar Ghallaibh | Wage war on the foreign aggressor |
| (Curfá 3x) | (Chorus 3x) |
| Tá Gráinne Mhaol ag teacht thar sáile... | Gráinne Mhaol comes over the sea... |
