The National Anthem Of The Republic Ireland – A Soldiers Song lyrics

Gaelic

Amhrán na bhfiann
Seo dhibh a cháirde duan óglaigh,
Cathréimeach briomhar ceolmhar,
Áare dtinte cnámh go buacach táid,
's an spéir go min réaltogach
Is fonnmhar faobhrach sinn chun gleo
's go tiúnmhar glé roimh thíocht do'n ló
Fé chiúnas chaomh na hoiche ar seol:
Seo libh canaídh Amhrán na bhfiann

Curfá:
Sinne Firnna Fáil
A tá fé gheall ag éirinn,
Buion dáare slua
Thar toinn do ráinig chugainn,
Fé mhóid bheith saor.
Sean tíare áare sinsir feasta
Ní fhagfar fé'n tiorán ná fén tráil
Anocht a théam sa bhearna bhaoil,
Le gean ar Ghaeil chun báis nó saoil
Le guna screach fé lámhach na bpiléar
Seo libh canaídh Amhrán na bhfiann.

Cois bánta réidhe, ar árdaibh sléibhe,
Ba bhuachach áare sinsir romhainn,
Ag lámhach go tréan fé'n sáare-bhrat séin
Tá thuas sa ghaoith go seolta
Ba dhúchas riamh d'áare gcine cháidh
Gan iompáil siar ó imirt áir,
's ag siúl mar iad I gcoinne námhad
Seo libh, canaídh Amhrán na bhfiann

Curfá

English

We'll sing a song, a soldier's song,
With cheering rousing chorus,
As round our blazing fires we throng,
The starry heavens o'er us;
Impatient for the coming fight,
And as we wait the morning's light,
Here in the silence of the night,
We'll chant a soldier's song.

Chorus:
Soldiers are we
Whose lives are pledged to Ireland;
Some have come
From a land beyond the wave.
Sworn to be free,
No more our ancient sire land
Shall shelter the despot or the slave.
Tonight we man the gap of danger
In Erin's cause, come woe or weal
"Mid cannons" roar and rifles peal,
We'll chant a soldier's song.

In valley green, on towering crag,
Our fathers fought before us,
And conquered 'neath the same old flag
That's proudly floating o'er us.
We're children of a fighting race,
That never yet has known disgrace,
And as we march, the foe to face,
We'll chant a soldier's song.

Chorus
