LOL get off the computer and learn it then. If people in America can learn it then so can you.

It's not ****e. I like it. What would be ****e would be if it was sung in English.

As Gaelge

Seo dhibh a chairde duan Oglaigh,
Cathreimeach briomhar ceolmhar,
Ar dtinte cnamh go buacach taid,
'S an speir go min realtogach
Is fonnmhar faobhrach sinn chun gleo
'S go tiunmhar gle roimh thiocht do'n lo
Fe chiunas chaomh na hoiche ar seol:
Seo libh canaidh Amhran na bhFiann

Curfa:
Sinne Firnna Fail
A ta fe gheall ag Eirinn,
buion dar slua
Thar toinn do rainig chugainn,
Fe mhoid bheith saor.
Sean tir ar sinsir feasta
Ni fhagfar fe'n tioran na fe'n trail
Anocht a theam sa bhearna bhaoil,
Le gean ar Ghaeil chun bais no saoil
Le guna screach fe lamhach na bpilear
Seo libh canaidh Amhran na bhFiann.

Cois banta reidhe, ar ardaibh sleibhe,
Ba bhuachach ar sinsir romhainn,
Ag lamhach go trean fe'n sar-bhrat sein
Ta thuas sa ghaoith go seolta
Ba dhuchas riamh d'ar gcine chaidh
Gan iompail siar o imirt air,
'S ag siul mar iad i gcoinne namhad
Seo libh, canaidh Amhran na bhFiann

Curfa

A bhuion nach fann d'fhuil Ghaeil is Gall,
Sin breacadh lae na saoirse,
Ta sceimhle 's scanradh i gcroithe namhad,
Roimh ranna laochra ar dtire.
Ar dtinte is treith gan spreach anois,
Sin luisne ghle san speir anoir,
'S an biobha i raon na bpilear agaibh:
Seo libh, canaidh Amhran na bh Fiann.

In English

We'll sing 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

our national anthem is brilliant. its a pity that it sums up what we used to stand for. Currently it doesn't, all it represent is the english soccer following, money grabbing, begrudging shower of **** that most of ireland is now.

I think the anthem is grand no need to change it

Deutschland Deutschland uber alles... oh wait the Germans aren't allowed to sing that on account of shoving six million people into poison gas chambers recently so they just mentally fill in the words.

Anyway, yeah our own anthem is robbed directly off of "pomp and circumstance" so it should be changed to something celtic. Maybe some enya for the craic.

Anti Irish brigade is out in force again tonight. Really doesn't matter where anyone is from and the more culture the better, makes people far more interesting. But Ireland has to be one of the only countries I've seen that constantly bashes it's own culture and history on a day to day basis. I get it that we're in a bad economic situation with a lousy government, but christ we're not the only country to be so and rather than looking on some good aspects of our culture like Irish language which ok not everyone likes and thats fine, but for the people who do, its rich in a literature and musical sense, and other aspects of Irish culture too. Grow up. These type of threads are constantly coming up on after hours. Boring at this stage.
