"A Soldier's Song", in gaelico "Amhràn na bhFiann", è dal 1926 l'inno nazionale della Repubblica d'Irlanda. L'inno nacque nel contesto dei movimenti rivoluzionari contro la Gran Bretagna che si diffusero in Irlanda agli inizi del Novecento. Peadar Kearney fu l'autore del testo in inglese del 1909, su cui fu adattata la melodia composta da Patrick Heeney nel 1910. La versione in gaelico del 1923, nella quale oggi viene spesso cantato, è opera di Liam O' Rinn.

LYRICS
Gaeilic Text by Liam O' Rinn

Sinne Fianna Fáil
Atá faoi gheall ag Éireann,
buion dár slua
Thar toinn do ráinig chugainn,
Fé mhóid bheith saor.
Sean tír ár sinsear feasta
Ní fhágfar fén tíorán ná fén tráill
Anocht a théam sa bhearna bhaoil,
Le gean ar Ghaeil chun báis nó saoil
Le gunna screach fé lámhach na bpiléar
Seo libh canaídh Amhrán na bhFiann.

Cois bánta réidhe, ar árdaibh sléibhe,
Ba bhuachach ár sinsir romhainn,
Ag lámhach go tréan fé'n sár-bhrat séin
Tá thuas sa ghaoith go seolta
Ba dhúchas riamh d'ár gcine cháidh
Gan iompáil siar ó imirt áir,
'S ag siúl mar iad i gcoinne námhad
Seo libh, canaídh Amhrán na bhFiann

English Text by Peadar Kearney

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 sireland,
Shall shelter the despot or the slave.
Tonight we man the "bearna baoil", In Erin's cause, come
woe or weal,
'Mid cannon's 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
