Verse 1 – Solo (Male)

Oh the tide rolls high on the Galway shore,
And the gulls cry low o’er the sound,
We’ve sailed the foam from Skye to Cork,
And we’ll ne’er let our hearts be bound.

🟩 Tá an taoide ag éirí ar chósta na Gaillimhe,
(“The tide is rising on the coast of Galway,”)
’S na faoileáin ag glaoch thar tonn,
(“And the seagulls calling over the waves,”)
Smaoiním ar Skye ’s ar Chorcaí thíos,
(“I think of Skye and Cork below,”)
’S ár gcroí ní cheanglófar choíche.
(“And our hearts shall never be bound.”)

Chorus – Duet / Crew

⚓️ Hey-ah-ho, an ghaoth bhreá séid,
(Hey-a-ho, the bonnie wind blow,)
Canaig, a chairde, go hard!
(Sing it, my friends, aloud!)
O Éirinn glas gu Gleann nan Sìth,
(From green Erin to the glen of peace,)
Seasaidh sinn go dtí glao na farraige!
(We’ll stand till the ocean calls!)

Verse 2 – Solo (Female)

There’s a flame that burns in the Highland mist,
And a tear in the eye o’ the sea,
But we’ll dance once more where the pipes do play,
For the heart of the wind is free!

🟪 Tha lasair bheag anns a’ cheò nan sliabh,
(“There’s a small flame in the Highland mist,”)
’S deòir na mara nam shùil,
(“And a tear of the sea in my eye,”)
Bidh sinn a’ dannsa far a chluinnear na pìoban,
(“We’ll dance where the pipes are heard,”)
Oir tha cridhe na gaoithe saor!
(“For the heart of the wind is free!”)

Hey-ah-ho, an ghaoth bhreá séid,
