Song of the Dawn by The Longkesh Ramblers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=is5BlEZOSOE The song I sing is a song of old, a song of Roisin Dubh Of glade and glen, of ford and fen, of homes and of mountains too Of the signs that stand over all the land to tell of the long ago Let your voices ring in the song I sing, Sean-Eire na nGaedheal go deo Wher' all the night is ended, we see the dawn red glow Oh, shout it high, it's a free man's cry, Sean Eireann an Gael go deo I sing of every wood and stream, Of tower, and vale, and town. Where brave men tried ,and brave men died To tear that auld rag down. And from Cilarraidhe brave to the widest wave Where Lagan's waters flow, From Teamhair na Ri to the winding Laoi Sean-Eire na nGaedheal go deo! Wher' all the night is ended, we see the dawn red glow Oh, shout it high, it's a free man's cry, Sean Eireann an Gael go deo I raise a rann for those who tread The path to the dawning day. Who will pause no more till their native shore, Is free from the Saxon sway; And from every hill and from every rill The freedom-cry will go, From old and young, the Gaelic tongue Sean-Eire na nGaedheal go deo! Wher' all the night is ended, we see the dawn red glow Oh, shout it high, it's a free man's cry, Sean Eireann an Gael go deo
