I adore this song and band so much!! I've been listening to Óró Sé Do Bheatha Bhaile, Cumann Na Mban and come out ye black 'n tans over and over. Some of my ancestors came from Kilkenny to Wales during the famine. I'd love to learn Irish one day, but I promised myself I'd master Welsh first! One day all Celtic nations will be free.
There's a blossom that blows, that scoffs at the snows And it faces root fast the rage of the blast It sweetens the sod, no slave ever trod Six mountains of prayer there altered to God CHORUS: The flower of the free, the heather, the heather The Britons and Scots and Irish together The Manx and the Welsh and Cornish forever Six nations are we, proud Celtic and free A blossom as red as the life's blood we shed And for liberty's cause against alien laws With Lochiel and O'Neill and Llewellyn drew steel For Alba's and Eirn's and Cambria's weal Let the Saxon and Dane bear the rule o'er the plain And the hem of God's robe is their scepter and globe And the lord of all light, revered in his height For heaven and earth blows up in his sight There's a blossom that blows, that scoffs at the snows And it faces root fast the rage of the blast It sweetens the sod, no slave ever trod Six mountains of prayer there altered to God
I believe the second-to-last chorus is "Let the Saxon and Dane bear the reel o'er the plain and the hem of God's robe is our scepter and globe" (reel meaning a limp or disrupted walk presumably from injury in this context) as this is what it sounds more like to me. It would make sense too since the Saxons "stole" England in their eyes and then oppressed them under the British Empire, and Danish Vikings did quite a number on the British Isles and Brittany so it would make sense that the Celts aren't too fond of them.
This song is so amazing! I can't stop coming back to this song again and again! I'm proud of being Irish and peace forever to the 6 nations.

I well up with pride every time I hear this song! A Very proud Celt!

Greetings from Uruguay from the Cox family. We are Irish decendents and we're proud to be it!! :D
long life to the 6 nations!!!!
There's a blossom that blows, that scoffs at the snows
And it faces root fast the rage of the blast
It sweetens the sod, no slave ever trod
Six mountains of prayer there altered to God
CHORUS: The flower of the free, the heather, the heather
The Britons and Scots and Irish together
The Manx and the Welsh and Cornish forever
Six nations are we, proud Celtic and free
A blossom as red as the life's blood we shed
And for liberty's cause against alien laws
With Lochiel and O'Neill and Llewellyn drew steel
For Alba's and Eirn's and Cambria's weal
Let the Saxon and Dane bear the rule o'er the plain
And the hem of God's robe is their scepter and globe
And the lord of all light, revered in his height
For heaven and earth blows up in his sight
There's a blossom that blows, that scoffs at the snows
And it faces root fast the rage of the blast
It sweetens the sod, no slave ever trod
Six mountains of prayer there altered to God
Thanks for the lyrics, Jo, but it's Bretons (of Brittany here in France), not Britons! :-)

Awkwardly shoehorning lyrics onto a nice trad march. Okay, for some, I guess. Better to sing this to another melody IMHO.
