Mother of Ships Lyrics


Powerful by land and sea

Ruling them with iron hand

Sailing on the wicked waves

Gráinne Mhaol from Mhaigh Eo’s land

Hail! Mother of Ships! Mother of Pirates!

Let me fearless on the tides

Mother of Ships! Mother of Pirates!

Daughter of Ireland by my side

Braving the mighty storm

I am not afraid of pain

Bring your animosity

Cowering, you’ll hear my name

Hear the horn

Feel the spray

I embrace the coming storm

Óró, sé do bheatha 'bhaile

Óró, sé do bheatha 'bhaile

Óró, sé do bheatha 'bhaile

Anois ar theacht an tsamhraidh

Hail! Mother of Ships! Mother of Pirates!

Let me fearless on the tides

Mother of Ships! Mother of Pirates!

Daughter of Ireland by my side
