Gaelic <br />

<br />

Amhrán na bhFiann<br />

Seo dhibh a cháirde duan óglaigh,<br />

Cathréimeach briomhar ceolmhar,<br />

ár dtinte cnámh go buacach táid,<br />

'S an spéir go min réaltogach<br />

Is fonnmhar faobhrach sinn chun gleo<br />

'S go tiúnmhar glé roimh thíocht do'n ló<br />

Fé chiúnas chaomh na hoiche ar seol:<br />

Seo libh canaídh Amhrán na bhFiann <br />

<br />

Curfá:<br />

Sinne Firnna Fáil<br />

A tá fé gheall ag éirinn,<br />

Buion dár slua<br />

Thar toinn do ráinig chugainn,<br />

Fé mhóid bheith saor.<br />

Sean tír ár sinsir feasta<br />

Ní fhagfar fé'n tiorán ná fén tráil<br />

Anocht a théam sa bhearna bhaoil,<br />

Le gean ar Ghaeil chun báis nó saoil<br />

Le guna screach fé lámhach na bpiléar<br />

Seo libh canaídh Amhrán na bhFiann. <br />

<br />

Cois bánta réidhe, ar árdaibh sléibhe,<br />

Ba bhuachach ár sinsir romhainn,<br />

Ag lámhach go tréan fé'n sár-bhrat séin<br />

Tá thuas sa ghaoith go seolta<br />

Ba dhúchas riamh d'ár gcine cháidh<br />

Gan iompáil siar ó imirt áir,<br />

'S ag siúl mar iad i gcoinne námhad<br />

Seo libh, canaídh Amhrán na bhFiann <br />

<br />

Curfá <br />

English <br />

<br />

We'll sing a song, a soldier's song,<br />

With cheering rousing chorus,<br />

As round our blazing fires we throng,<br />

The starry heavens o'er us;<br />

Impatient for the coming fight,<br />

And as we wait the morning's light,<br />

Here in the silence of the night,<br />

We'll chant a soldier's song. <br />

<br />

Chorus:<br />

Soldiers are we<br />

Whose lives are pledged to Ireland;<br />

Some have come<br />

From a land beyond the wave.<br />

Sworn to be free,<br />

No more our ancient sire land<br />

Shall shelter the despot or the slave.<br />

Tonight we man the gap of danger<br />

In Erin's cause, come woe or weal<br />

"Mid cannons" roar and rifles peal,<br />

We'll chant a soldier's song. <br />

<br />

In valley green, on towering crag,<br />

Our fathers fought before us,<br />

And conquered 'neath the same old flag<br />

That's proudly floating o'er us.<br />

We're children of a fighting race,<br />

That never yet has known disgrace,<br />

And as we march, the foe to face,<br />

We'll chant a soldier's song. <br />

<br />

Chorus
