A thousand caveats: My Irish is middling at best, I find it incredibly tough to translate solely by ear, the voiceover was playing third fiddle to the music and the sound effects of the engines, guns etc. in the video so it's tough to make out what's being said, I can't always get to grips with accents etc.

But here's my attempt at what I picked up. It's desperate and has lots of gaps and probable mistakes, but it's marginally better than nothing.

I've tried to avoid guessing and just left lines blank instead, but one word I cant help but guess at is "comrades". In the video I can only hear "mo chomhre" despite hearing it dozens of times. This makes no sense as "mo chomhre" means "my conversations". "I'll never let my conversations down" would be a strange promise from a special forces oath. It could be a mangled "comhbhrhre" with is kinsmen, or something to do with "comhrac" which is encounter or combat, but I just don't hear it.

So here goes

Is fianch m Mac le cumhall agus dearthar le Fionn Mac Cumhaill,
Is duine de na Fianna m Ag tabhairt aitheantas do mo dhúchais, mo chomh(?) reatha, go dto bhfuil mo lhart.
Glacaim go hiomle mo ?, mo dhualgais, agus mo ?

Is fianch m Is ceannaire m Le meas do ch.
Ag glac focal uaim ionrac mar deacht dangain.
Glacaim go h-ollmhnuair a bhfuil do comhartha (?), tiocfaidh mo reach(?) I gc.

Is fianch m Leanfaidh mo chuid misean gan (?)

Beidh neamh(?) i mbun comhraic
Nigfidh m mo chomh(?)
Beidh neamh (?) agus mg a chosaint
Mar le che, is muide na Fianna
Agus is Fianch m

I am a Ranger
Son of Cumhall and Brother of Fionn Mac Cumhaill
I am one of Na Fianna
Acknowledging my heritage and my current comrades, until my day is over
I fully accept/obey my (?), my duties and my (?)

I am a Ranger
I am a leader
I will show respect to all.
(Something about honest words and solemn promises)
I fully accept that at your signal (?), I will always come prepared

I am a Ranger
I will follow my part in the mission without (?)
I will be (?) during combat*
I will not let down my comrades
I will be un(something) when I am protecting them
Because together we are Na Fianna
And I am a Ranger.

(I keep hearing neamhdhleathach, which is "unlawful"....or maybe neamhlaofa which is "unbiased", neither fits really)

I'd love for someone with a far keener ear and fluency to transcribe it so I know what I got wrong.

I've no idea what's happening but every time I type it out as Gaeilge, it gets mangled into the gibberish above. Is there some bug in boards' code that has trouble with fadas? Every word with a fada in it gets scrambled.
