Eire's Dream
April 15, 2013
When the soul of Ireland Nuair a bheidh an anam na hÉireann
is green again Is glas arís
and the place of Shadow agus an áit Scáth
between the believer’s hope idir súil na believer’s
is reborn to the light Tá reborn leis an solas
Then the Celtic knot Ansin an snaidhm Ceilteach
will be whole and secure beidh fad agus slán
and the crown will be placed agus beidh an choróin a chur
on the heart of Ireland ar an croí na hÉireann
Then no more Ansin níos mó
will shadow divide them beidh scáth iad a roinnt
keep them fanning quarrel’s flame iad a choinneáil quarrel cáite ar lasair
and harmony will sing agus comhchuibheas a chanadh
on the breast of Ireland’s soul aon an chíche ar anam na hÉireann
and the greening of Belfast agus glasú Bhéal Feirste
will far surpass her tepid dream beidh surpass fada agus a aisling tepid
