Day 14: Óró sé do bheatha bhaile

’Sé do bheatha, a bhean ba léanmhar do bé ár gcreach tú bheith i ngéibhinn do dhúiche bhreá i seilbh meirleach 's tú díolta leis na Gallaibh.

Hail, oh woman, who was so afflicted, It was our ruin that you were in chains, Our fine land in the possession of thieves... While you were sold to the foreigners!

Day 11: Whatever You Say, Say Nothing

Whatever you say, say nothing When you talk about you know what For if you know who could hear you You know what you'd get For they'd take you off to you know where For you wouldn't know how long So for you know who's sake Don't let anyone hear you singing this song

Day 9: Ireland Unfree

There's a faded old picture on the wall all alone A dusty old picture, the pride of his home With a harp and a shamrock, with these words underneath "Ireland unfree shall never be at peace"
