lyrics

A mhic mo chroí arsa ‘n Sairsint groí
Ar mhaith leat bheith in arm is in éide an Ríogh
Id Royal Dragoon thar farraige anonn
‘s gan aon ro-mhoill bheith id oifigeach mhór
Agus Toor Ry Ah, Fal De Didil Dah,
Toor Ry, Ur Ry, Ur Ry Ah

Rinne Tadhg liostáil agus chuaigh thar sáil
Bhí a mhathair tamaill fada gan a thuairisc d’fháil
Ach I mí Mhean Fhómhair tháinig long faoí sheol
Go cuan Chorcaí agus Tadhg ar bhord
Agus Toor Ry Ah …

Lig sí béic nuair do chonaic sí é
Mar bhí Tadhg in a bhacach agus maide cois fé
Muis a Thadhg a rún, an sin adhmad fút
In anam an deabhaill an tú atá chugam
Agus Toor Ry Ah …

An raibh tú ólta nó an raibh tú dall
Is do chosa d’fhaágaint ins an tír úd thall
Nó an rinne tú súil ar an bhfarraige mhór
Go raibh said caite ‘agt ó ghlún go sáil
Agus Toor Ry Ah …

Ni raibh mé ólta is ní raibh mé caoch
Ach ag troid ar son mó thíre mar a dhéanfadh laoch
Is faoi lámhach na ngunnai ag Sebastopol
Do sciobadh mo chois uaim ó ghlún go sáil
Agus Toor Ry Ah …

Dá ligfinn mo lámh ar Ri na Rúis
Do shinfinn ar an dtalamh é le dorn faoin chluais
Is ba mhairg an lá is an bhliain don Saar
Nuair do sciob sé na cosa uait, ‘Thadhg a ghrá
Agus Toor Ry Ah …
