Gather round, come hear me sing
Of a tale on dragon’s wing Of a lady bright and fair With a voice beyond compare With the beat that keeps us strong It’s our queen of war and song She’s to whom we gladly kneel Ind rígain catho ocus cíuil Raise that shield up, stay alive For we fight for our queen Sadb Lift your voice up to the sky As we sing our battle cry With the beat that keeps us strong It’s our queen of war and song She’s to whom we gladly kneel Ind rígain catho ocus cíuil Music soothes a savage beast But the dragon’s might’s increased When we join in our refrain Singing of the good queen’s reign With the beat that keeps us strong It’s our queen of war and song She’s to whom we gladly kneel Ind rígain catho ocus cíuil With both voice and blade we soar These our instruments of war As we conquer all who come Marching steady to the drum With the beat that keeps us strong It’s our queen of war and song She’s to whom we gladly kneel Ind rígain catho ocus cíuil Even when the battle’s won All our songs are not quite done We will sing into the night Of the queen for whom we fight With the beat that keeps us strong It’s our queen of war and song She’s to whom we gladly kneel Ind rígain catho ocus cíuil Ind rígain catho ocus cíuil |
