National anthem - Do you know it?

dlofnep · 11-02-2009 09:06PM #1

Just curious. Watching the start of the soccer match and most of the lads didn't know it. Do you know the national anthem? Kinda know it? Not know it at all?

orestes · 11-02-2009 09:08PM

Sure I do.

Mena · 11-02-2009 09:15PM

Hazys · 11-02-2009 09:27PM

Staight out I wouldn't.

But if i was part of the crowd singing it, I'd start remembering it as i sing along.

Had to learn it in the guides, i'm the only one I know who knows all the words, reckon half the votes on here are lies!

*thinks*
sinne fianna fail,
ata faoi gheall ag eireann,
buionn dar slua,
thar toinn do rainig chugainn,
faoi mhoid bheith saor,
seantir ar sinsear feasta,
ni fhagfar fen tioran na fen traill,
anocht a theim sa bhearna bhaoil,
le gean ar ghaeil chun bas no saoil,
le gunnai screach, -something- lamhach na bpilear,
seo libh canaidh amhrain na bhfiann

jaysus looks like I rememeber it :eek: Sorry about the bad spelling though

Had it bet into us in primary school... in Irish. Never had a clue what it actually meant. Can still belt it out as Gaeilige. God I hate Irish...

fryup · 11-02-2009 10:11PM

the best national anthem imo is.....the spanish national anthem

why??.........cause it has no words just music, so u can hum along to your hearts content and not feel embarrassed:)

I know it off by heart, and love it, but not in a Ra-head kind of way, but in my own I'm proud to be Irish kind of way!

This post is in noway affiliated with Sinn Fein, Celtic Supporters or general tiocfaidh ar la spouting idiots - I hate that being proud to be irish is associated with that, but damn I love this little stupid badly run island of ours!:P

The Mad Hatter · 11-02-2009 10:17PM

Don't know it. Don't care.

Ref making some bad moves

Ooh Keane recovered!

ejmaztec · 11-02-2009 10:23PM

The French one's the best, but it's wasted on them altogether. The UK one is boring beyond belief. The Irish one doesn't seem to fit the profile.
