Oil Thigh - Lyrics

Lyrics

1

Queen's College colours we are wearing once again,

Soiled as they are by the battle and the rain,

Yet another victory to wipe away the stain!

So, Gaels, go in and win!

Chorus

Oilthigh na Banrighinn a' Bhanrighinn gu bràth!

Oilthigh na Banrighinn a' Bhanrighinn gu bràth!

Oilthigh na Banrighinn a' Bhanrighinn gu bràth!

Cha ghèill! Cha ghèill! Cha ghèill!

Translation

The Queen's University, the Queen forever!

...

(We) won't surrender! (We) won't surrender! (We) won't surrender!

2

Varsity's not invincible, they tremble at the news

Of Queen's College Colours and are shaking in their shoes.

Yet another victory, the chance we dare not lose.

So, Gaels, go in and win!

3

McGill has met defeat before, they've heard the same old tale

Of Queen's College colours, boys, the ones that seldom fail,

Remember Captain Curtis and the conquerors of Yale,

So, Gaels, go in and win!

4

There may be other colours to the breezes oft unfurled,

And many another college yell by student voices hurled;

Queen's College colours are the dearest in the world,

So, Gaels, go in and win!

5

What's the sport of Kings?

Queen's! Queen's! Queen's!

Oilthigh na Banrighinn Cha ghèill! Cha ghèill! Cha ghèill!

Oilthigh na Banrighinn Cha ghèill! Cha ghèill! Cha ghèill!

Go Queen´s!
