about

This lament for Bonny Prince Charlie was reworked by Pádraig Mac Piarais into Oro ‘Sé Do Bheatha ‘Bhaile, in the lead-up to the 1916 rebellion.

Oh young Charles, son of King James
Your journey to Ireland is my sorrow
Withour a scrap of a shoe, stocking or shirt
but struggling alongside the French

Oh you are welcome home
Above all others
You are away for months

It is my sharp sorrow that I do not see
Even if I were only to live a week after
Young Charles with a thousand warriors
Struggling alongside the French

Young Charles is travelling the ocean
He will have with him a couple of guards
He will have with him French and Spanish
And they will make the foreigners dance

lyrics

A Shéarlais Óg a mhic Rí Shéamais
Sé mo chreach do thriall ar Éirinn
Gan ruainne bróig, stóca nó léine
Ach a’ coscairt leis na Francaigh

Óró sé do bheatha chun abhaile
Óró ós cionn a’n duine eile
Óró sé do bheatha chun abhaile
Tá tú amuigh le ráithe

Ó ‘sé mo léan géar nach bhfeicim
Mura mbeinn beo ‘na dhiadh ach seachtain
Séarlas Óg agus míle gaiscioch
A’ coscairt leis na Francaigh

Tá Séarlas Óg a’ triall thar sáile
Beidh siad leisean cúpla garda
Beidh siad leis Francaigh agus Spáinnigh
‘S bainfidh siad rinnc’ as na Gaillibh
