Ireland's Pirates

Óró, You are Welcome Home!

Padraic Pearse (1879-1916)

Welcome O woman who was so afflicted, It was our ruin that you were in bondage Our fine land in the possession of thieves, Sold to the foreigners.

Óró, you are welcome home! Óró, you are welcome home! Oro, you are welcome home! Now that the summer is coming.

Please the Great God that we may see, Although we may only live a week after it Gráinne Mhaol and a thousand warriors, Dispersing the foreigners.

Gráinne Mhaol is coming over the sea Armed warriors along with her as a guard They are Irish themselves, not Foreigners nor Spaniards, And they will rout the Foreigners.
