Ró-the (Ó sea)
Glao na gardaí ‘s an dóiteáin
Ró-the (Ó sea)
Trí thine ‘nois, n’fheadar cén fáth?
Ró-the (Ó sea)
Glao mo ainm anois, amach ós árd,
Ró-the (Ó sea)

And someone needs to get this young lady a contract already, because she is straight killing it up there.

Um, DEAL WITH IT.

Thanks Gaelscoil Pheig Sayers!
