📝 LYRICS – The Ballad of Cú Chulainn
Gather close, hear ancients tell,
Of Ulster’s hero, fierce and fell.
With flaming spear, eyes burning true,
The Hound of Ulster none could subdue.

Lift your voice to the sky,
Let the hero's name never die!
Honor bound, he'll never yield,
Cú Chulainn's legend, sword and shield!

Betrayed by fate, yet standing tall,
Wounded thrice, refused to crawl.
Tied to stone, proud battle cry,
Though slain, his legend would not die.

For days foes feared his final stance,
Dead but fierce, none dared advance.
The raven flew; proud Ulster cried,
Mourning deep their fallen pride.

Lift your voice to the sky,
Let the hero's name never die!
Through endless ages, songs reveal,
Cú Chulainn's glory, strong as steel!
