Feats of war
I bid thee welcome,
Valorous one
I scried your arrival
And know what must be done
So swear your allegiance
And you may remain
I will give you my guidance
For a year and a day
Now enter my fortress
And stand by my side
I've never before
Met a warrior so proud
Swear your allegiance
And you may remain
I will give you my guidance
For a year and a day
Oh brave young Cuchulainn
Day by day you learn more
Such courage and such vigour
I train and I teach you all feats of war
Come let me show you
Crafts of battle lore
Sword-edge and shield rim
The grand deeds of war
Swear your allegiance
And you may remain
I give you all my guidance
For a year and a day
Oh brave young Cuchulainn
Day by day you learn more
Such strength and such honour
I train and I teach you all feats of war
Now there's only one skill left
Most terrible of all
Barbed spear, Gae Bolg
The deadliest feat to call
You've sworn your allegiance
And you have remained
I gave you all my guidance
For a year and a day
So now I will have nothing
To teach you no more
Such courage and vigour
Strength and such honour
All heroes shall hear
Of your deeds of war
The only champion
Improved to perfection
The greatest warrior you are
For now you have learned
All my feats of war
Now you have learned
All my feats of war
