Soldiers Song (Irish National Anthem)

We'll sing a song, a soldier's song,
 With cheering rousing,
 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.
 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 peal,
 We'll chant a soldier's song.
 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.
 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 peal,
 We'll chant a soldier's song.
 Sons of the Gael! Men of the Pale!
 The long watched day is breaking
 The serried ranks of Inisfail
 Shall set the Tyrant quaking
 Our camp fires now are burning low
 See in the east a silv'ry glow
 Out yonder waits the Saxon foe
 So chant a soldier's song
 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 peal
 We'll chant a soldier's song
