Grace O'Malley
Now in sailor's clothes Granuaile did go
A bold sea captain from top to toe
Her clans and children were the greatest care
Of Grace O'Malley, of Grace O'Malley
Who never did despair
Her trade was maintainence by land and sea
Two hundred loyal men were her army
No other captain was as skilled or brave
As Grace O'Malley, as Grace O'Malley
Who ruled the stormy wave
Now they had not sailed far from Clew Bay
When she spied a vessel bound for Galway
"Those are sea merchants," Grania did cry
"And Granuaile, and Granuaile
Will stop that ship or die"
She stopped that ship, and they took its store
She returned to Old Erin's shore
With Spanish brandy she walked along
Did Granuaile, did Granuaile
Who sweetly sang a song
Now Queen Elizabeth did once suggest
That she would name Grace a countess
"Oh no," says Grace, "That would never do
For Grace O'Malley, for Grace O'Malley
Is as great a queen as you"
The Queen of Connaught by land and sea
Her strength commanded fierce loyalty
Her wealth provided for many's the clans
Of Grace O'Malley, of Grace O'Malley
Seawoman of Ireland
Grace O'Malley
Ahora, vestida de marinero, Granuaile se fue
Una valiente capitana de pies a cabeza
Sus clanes e hijos eran su mayor preocupación
De Grace O'Malley, de Grace O'Malley
Que nunca se desesperó
Su comercio era el mantenimiento por tierra y mar
Doscientos hombres leales eran su ejército
Ningún otro capitán era tan hábil o valiente
Como Grace O'Malley, como Grace O'Malley
Que gobernaba las olas tormentosas
No habían navegado lejos de Clew Bay
Cuando avistó un barco rumbo a Galway
'Esos son mercaderes marinos,' gritó Grania
'Y Granuaile, y Granuaile
Detendrán ese barco o morirán'
Detuvo ese barco y tomaron su carga
Regresó a la antigua costa de Erin
Con brandy español caminaba
Granuaile, Granuaile
Que dulcemente cantaba una canción
La Reina Isabel sugirió una vez
Que nombraría a Grace condesa
'Oh no,' dice Grace, 'Eso nunca funcionaría
Porque Grace O'Malley, porque Grace O'Malley
Es tan gran reina como tú'
La Reina de Connacht por tierra y mar
Su fuerza comandaba lealtad feroz
Su riqueza proveía para muchos clanes
De Grace O'Malley, de Grace O'Malley
Mujer de mar de Irlanda
