Born on the Island of North America
The Echoes of Éirinn have made my living here
And I've always felt inside
An unyielding sense of pride.
Éirinn go, Éirinn go, Éirinn go Brách !
All my life I'm an Irishman.
The best of my ancestors is all inside me.
Unhindered, my kindred all stand beside me.
And of all I have they own.
Where I lay my heart's my home.
Emeralds are kindled that long were scattered.
Green fire inside you is all that matters.
Though your blood be mixed be sure
Just a drop will make you pure.
