    An emerald set in the ring of the sea.
    Each blade of thy meadows my faithful heart prizes,
    Thou queen of the west, the world's cushla ma chree.

Old Dublin City there is no doubtin'
Bates every city upon the say.

With charmin' pisintry upon a fruitful sod,
Fightin' like devils for conciliation,
And hatin' each other for the Love of God.
