The Soldier's Song
|
Seo dhibh a cháirde duan Óglaigh
|
We'll sing a song, a soldier's song
|
Cathréimeach briomhar ceolmhar
|
With cheering rousing chorus
|
Ár dtinte cnámh go buacach táid
|
As round our blazing fires we throng
|
'S an spéir go min réaltogach
|
The starry heavens o'er us
|
Is fonnmhar faobhrach sinn chun gleo
|
Impatient for the coming fight
|
'S go tiúnmhar glé roimh thíocht do'n ló
|
And as we await the morning's light
|
Fé chiúnas chaomh na hoiche ar seol
|
Here in the silence of the night
|
Seo libh canaídh Amhrán na bhFiann
|
We'll chant a soldier's song
|
|
|
|
|
Sinne Fianna Fáil
|
Soldiers are we
|
A tá fé gheall ag Éirinn
|
Whose lives are pledged to Ireland
|
Buion dár slua
|
Some have come
|
Thar toinn do ráinig chugainn
|
From a land beyond the wave
|
Fé mhóid bheith saor
|
Sworn to be free
|
Sean tír ár sinsir feasta
|
No more our ancient sireland
|
Ní fhagfar fé'n tiorán ná fé'n tráil
|
Shall shelter the despot or the slave
|
Anocht a théam sa bhearna bhaoil
|
Tonight we man the gap of danger
|
Le gean ar Ghaeil chun báis nó saoil
|
In Erin's cause, come woe or weal
|
Le guna screach fé lámhach na bpiléar
|
'Mid cannon's roar and rifles' peal
|
Seo libh canaídh Amhrán na bhFiann
|
We'll chant a soldier's song
|
|
|
|
|
Cois bánta réidhe, ar árdaibh sléibhe
|
In valley green, on towering crag
|
Ba bhuachach ár sinsir romhainn
|
Our fathers fought before us
|
Ag lámhach go tréan fé'n sár-bhrat séin
|
And conquered 'neath the same old flag
|
Tá thuas sa ghaoith go seolta
|
That's proudly floating o'er us
|
Ba dhúchas riamh d'ár gcine cháidh
|
We're children of a fighting race
|
Gan iompáil siar ó imirt áir
|
That never yet has known disgrace
|
'S ag siúl mar iad i gcoinne námhad
|
And as we march, the foe to face
|
Seo libh canaídh Amhrán na bhFiann
|
We'll chant a soldier's song
|
|
|
|
|
Sinne Fianna Fáil...
|
Soldiers are we...
|
|
|
|
|
A bhuíon nách fann d'fhuil Ghaeil is Gall
|
Sons of the Gael! Men of the Pale!
|
Sin breacadh lae na saoirse
|
The long-watched day is breaking
|
Ta scéimhle 's scanradh i gcroíthe namhad
|
The serried ranks of Inisfail
|
Roimh ranna laochra ár dtire
|
Shall set the tyrant quaking
|
Ár dtinte is tréith gan spréach anois
|
Our camp fires now are burning low
|
Sin luisne ghlé san spéir anoir
|
See in the east a silv'ry glow
|
'S an bíobha i raon na bpiléar agaibh
|
Out yonder waits the Saxon foe
|
Seo libh canaídh Amhrán na bhFiann
|
So chant a soldier's song
|
|
|
|
|
Sinne Fianna Fáil...
|
Soldiers are we...
