Translations from Irish to English: Chorus = He is my hero, my dashing darling He is my Caesar, dashing darling. I've had no rest from forebodings Since he… See all 

Grief and pain are all I know 

My heart is sore, my tears a'flow 

We saw him go an buachaill beo 

No word we know of him ochón 

Chorus 

A proud and gallant chevalier 

A high born scion of gentle mien 

A fiery blade engaged to lead 

He'll break the bravest in the field 

Chorus 

Come sing his praise as sweet harps play 

And proudly toast his noble frame 

With spirit and with mind aflame 

To wish him strength and length of days
