O'er the seven hills of Macha
|
In an age now passed by
|
Lived a people once forgotten
|
Beneath an ancient sky
|
|
For protection they had warriors
|
Unsurpassed on Eireann's shore
|
Warriors of the Craobh Rua
|
An eternal name in lore
|
|
The Ri he dwelt at Emain
|
And Ri of Uladh's land
|
And the people they had plenty
|
Under Are-Ri's mighty hand
|
|
Cruinneach in your aprogance
|
And boastfulness and pride
|
Evoking a curse
|
Upon your own kind
|
|
Curse of a woman!
|
|
Due to man's boastfulness
|
And the follyness of man
|
Man, may yet pay due
|
A curse I place on you
|
A curse I place on you
|
A weakness like a woman hear her time
|
Once in every cycle, Ulaidh's strenght
|
Will fail to shine, fail, fail to shine
|
Man may yet pay due
|
A curse I place on you
|
A curse I place on you
|
|
But in Ulaidh's hour of need
|
Mighty lugh did pay heed
|
He beget at son at Bru na Boinne
|
Under a stone of great tragedy
|
|
Setanta as a boy, as a boy, as a boy
|
Cu Chulainn, as a man, as a man, as a man
|
|
Standing alone against Connaught's might
|
One against all, the eternal fight
|
|
Champions they came
|
Champions they did fall
|
Standing alone
|
Cu chulainn, slew them all!
|
|
For the pride of Emain Macha, Emain Macha, Emain Macha
|
For the pride of Emain Macha, Emain Macha, Emain Macha
|
For the pride of Emain Macha, Emain Macha, Emain Macha
|
That special seat of power
|
