"Theme from Harry's Game" or just "Harry's Game" is a hit song by Irish group Clannad, written by members Ciarán Brennan and Pól Brennan. It was written for a Yorkshire Television production called Harry's Game, which depicted The Troubles in Northern Ireland.

The lyrics are in the Irish language, and the song is to date the only British hit single ever to have been sung in that language. The chorus "Fol lol the doh fol the day, Fol the doh fol the day", is ancient Irish mouth-music which is common in traditional music. The song won an Ivor Novello award, and launched Clannad's global career.

Lyrics:
Imtheochaidh soir is siar
A dtainig ariamh
An ghealach is an ghrian

Fol lol the doh fol the day
Fol the day fol the day

Imtheochaidh an ghealach's an ghrian
An Daoine og is a chail 'na dhiadh

Fol lol the doh fol the day
Fol the day fol the day

Fol lol the doh fol the day
Fol the day fol the day

Imtheochaidh a dtainig ariamh
an duine og is a chail ne dhiadh

Fol lol the doh fol the day
Fol the day fol the day

English translation:
I will go east and go west
[To the places] from whence came
The moon and the sun

The moon and the sun will go
And the young man
With his reputation behind him

I will go wherever he came from -
The young man with his reputation behind him
