Текст песни «Wolfe Tones - A Soldiers Song (Irish National Anthem English Version)»

English

[Verse 1]
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 ancients Ireland
Shall shelter the despot or the slave.
Tonight we man the Bearna Baoil
In Erin's cause, come woe or weal
'Mid cannons roar and rifles peal,
We'll chant a soldier's song.

[Verse 2]
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]

[Verse 3]
Sons of the Gael, men of the Pale,
Our long watched day is breaking!
The serried ranks of Inisfail,
Shall set the tyrant quaking!
Our campfires now are burning low,
See in the East a silv'ry glow,
Out yonder waits the Saxon foe,
So chant a Soldier's Song!

Irish:

[Verse 1]
Seo dhibh, a chairde, duan oglaigh
Caithreimeach briomhar ceolmhar
ar dtinte cnamh go buacach taid
'S an speir go min realtogach
Is fonnmhar faobhrach sinn chun gleo
'S go tiunmhar gle roimh thiocht don lo
Fe chiunas chaomh na hoiche ar seol
Seo libh, canaidh Amhran na bhFiann

[Chorus]
Sinne Fianna Fail,
ata faoi gheall ag eirinn,
Buion dar slua
thar toinn do rainig chughainn,
Faoi mhoid bheith saor
Seantir ar sinsear feasta,
Ni fhagfar faoin tioran na faoin traill.
Anocht a theam sa bhearna baoil,
Le gean ar Ghaeil, chun bais no saoil,
Le gunna screach faoi lamhach na bpilear,
Seo libh canaidh amhran na bhfiann

[Verse 2]
Cois banta reidhe, ar ardaibh sleibhe
Ba bhuadhach ar sinsir romhainn
Ag lamhach go trean fen sarbhrat sein
'Ta thuas sa ghaoth go seolta
Ba dhuchas riamh dar gcine chaidh
Gan iompail siar o imirt air
'S ag siul mar iad i gcoinne namhad
Seo libh, canaidh Amhran na bhFiann

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
A bhuion nach fann d'fhuil Ghaeil is Gall
Sin breacadh lae na saoirse
Ta sceimhle 's scanradh i gcroithe namhad
Roimh ranna laochra ar dtire
ar dtinte is treith gan spreach anois
Sin luisne ghle sa speir anoir
'S an biobha i raon na bpilear agaibh
Seo libh, canaidh Amhran na bhFiann

[Chorus]
