CEAD MILE FAILTE

by

Matt McGinn

 

I went down by Dublin town

As a stranger I did go

There I heard the Irish girl

Sing, ‘Cead mile failte roimh’

 

Cead mile failte

Cead mile failte

Cead mile failte roimh

Cead mile failte

Cead mile failte

Cead mile failte roimh

 

She sang these words like the sweetest of birds

As her long black hair hung low

How I rejoiced to hear her voice

Sing, Cead mile failte roimh’

 

Cead mile failte

Cead mile failte

Cead mile failte roimh

Cead mile failte

Cead mile failte

Cead mile failte roimh

 

‘A hundred thousand welcomes to you’

Were the words that she spoke then

Oh how I wish that I could hear

The Irish girl again

 

Cead mile failte

Cead mile failte

Cead mile failte roimh

Cead mile failte

Cead mile failte

Cead mile failte roimh

 

That lovely land, I had to leave

For my own dear homeland shore

But I’ll return again to hear

The Irish girl once more

 

Cead mile failte

Cead mile failte

Cead mile failte roimh

Cead mile failte

Cead mile failte

Cead mile failte roimh
