Hi everyone, been absent for a long time, glad to be back:)
I have to carry out a kind of survey, will you help me a bit? Just write the first word or word combination that comes to your mind when you think about Irish Anthem;)

those sort of browny photographs with one or two guys in brownish uniforms with a sort of half proud, half 'what?' look and a rifle.
one guy sitting down, one guy standing, there may be another fella there with a beard.

Sadly I think of Fianna Faíl when I think of the anthem. Damn those Soliders of Destiny.

That no one seems to know the words. The fact that they have to print the words in football programmes and out them up on the big screen while it's being sung is kind of embarassing.

Parents should teach their children the words if it's not taught in schools.

That said, are the words relevant anymore? Im not so sure.

It is taught in schools. I just forgot them out of lack of interest.

I remember when I was a kid, we were given handouts in school of the national anthem, but we only went over the song in class about twice and never did it again. After that we just left our handouts in our houses and didn't bother with them again. At least that was how my class and I did it.

Kind've wish I put more emphasis on Irish when I was in school now tbh. But I was young an naive.

For those born in The Pale .......... here is the anglisised version. If you are a vet or a medic .......... I can root out the Latin version



The Soldier’s Song

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 ancient sire land
Shall shelter the despot or the slave.
Tonight we man the gap of danger
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.

Chorus

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.

Can you do that, only a little less patriotic? My eyes hurt
