The Soldiers’ Song (Irish National Anthem) Football Chant Lyrics

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 landShall shelter the despot or the slave.
Tonight we man the gap of dangerIn Erin’s cause,
God bless the Pope,
come woe or weal,
‘Mid cannons’ roar and rifles peal,
We’ll chant a soldier’s song.

Sinne Fianna Fáil,
atá faoi gheall ag Éirinn,
Buíon dar sluathar toinn do ráinig chughainn,
Faoi mhóid bheith saorSeantír ár sinsear feasta,
Ní fhagfar faoin tiorán ná faoin tráill.
Anocht a théam sa bhearna baoil,
Le gean ar Ghaeil,
chun báis no saoil,
Le gunna scréach faoi lámhach na bpiléar,
Seo libh canaig Amhrán na bhFiann.
