On the Clancy Brothers album I have, the song (obviously in Gaelic -- Irish Gaelic, I presume) is called O-Row Shay Na Vaha Wal-yeh. Now I know that no Gaelic is that phonetic, so I'm first looking for the real title of the song, then the real lyrics, then a phonetic version of the real lyrics, and a translation.

Any help would be appreciated.

It's called Oro, Se Do Bheatha 'Bhaile



Lots of information, as well as Irish and English lyrics in this Mudcat thread.

Thanks Mick for that link. I didn't recognise the song from the original name but I did from the phonetic version. It's on the McPeake Family record but they call it 'An Durd Fainne' and their translation of the chorus is:
'Welcome to our victorious army,
Some day Ireland will be free of foreigners.'
