Amhrán na bhFiannIrish (Gaelic)
Sinne Fianna Fáil Atá faoi gheall ag Éirinn Buíon dár slua Thar toinn do ráinig chughainn Faoi mhóid bheith saor Sean-tír ár sinsear feasta Ní fhágfar faoin tiorán ná faoin tráill Anocht a théam sa bhearna bhaoil Le gean ar Ghaeil chun báis nó saoil Le gunna scréach faoi lámhach na bpiléar Seo libh canaig Amhrán na bhFiann
Anthem of IrelandEnglish
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"[1] In Erin's cause, come woe or weal 'Mid cannon's roar and rifles' peal We'll chant a soldier's song
