BTTT for St. Patrick’s Day!
:-)
Seo dhibh a cháirde duan Oglaigh,
Cathréimeach bríomhar ceolmhar,
ár dtinte cnámh go buacach táid,
‘S an spéir go mín réaltógach
Is fonnmhar faobhrach sinn chun gleo
‘S go tiúnmhar glé roimh th¡ocht do’n ló
Fa chiúnas chaomh na hoiche ar seol:
Seo libh canaidh amhrán na bhFiann.
Curfá:
Sinne Finna Fáil
Atá fá gheall ag Éirinn,
buion dár slua
Thar túinn do ráinig chugainn,
fámhórd bheith saor
Sean tír ár sinsir feastá
Ní fhagfar fá tíorá fán tráil
Anocht a théam sa bhearna bhaoil,
Le gean ar Ghaeil chun báis nó saoil
guna screach fá l mhach na bpiléar
Seo libh canaidh amhrán na bhFiann.
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:
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 “bearna baoil”,
In Erin’s cause, come woe or weal
‘Mid cannons’ roar and rifles roar,
We’ll chant a soldier’s song.
