Daughter of the dún Terror of the west Sailed the coasts of Ireland With O’Malley on her crest
Sailors on the blue Shakin’ in their cots Feelin’ the foreboding of The terror that she wrought
Hup the hull and away we go Stock the galley o’gold Whack the divil the gales he blow We’ll batter him up in the hold
Dance along on the waterline Speed us over the waves Back to back on the borderlines To never shut up & behave
Gráinne Mhaol Queen of the pirates She set sail On the raging sea Gráinne Mhaol The gleam of the Irish Spun her tales On the ocean free
Never to be caught Tangled on the ropes Hacked away the lengthy locks In order to elope
She would lose no fight She would take no shite Stole the noble offspring In the middle of the night
Hup the hull and away we go Stock the galley o’gold Whack the divil the gales he blow We’ll batter him up in the hold
Dance along on the waterline Speed us over the waves Back to back on the borderlines To never shut up & behave
Gráinne Mhaol Queen of the pirates She set sail On the raging sea Gráinne Mhaol The gleam of the Irish Spun her tales On the ocean free
Banríon na farraige Cróga agus tréan Ag taisteal ar na dtonnta Cailín ag troid di féin
Tabhair faoi na Breataine Éist leis a béic Scrios na báid leatromach Ag cosaint ar an ríocht
Translation: [Queen of the sea Strong & powerful Travelling on the waves A girl fighting for herself Charge towards the British Listen to her yell Smash the oppressive ships Defending the kingdom]
Never to fall!!! A rebel in all!!!
Gráinne Mhaol Queen of the pirates She set sail On the raging sea Gráinne Mhaol The gleam of the Irish Spun her tales On the ocean free
