  • LONG LIVE GAEILGE AS A LANGUAGE!

  • this just brought a tear to my eye

  • @AnimalWelfare1000 Our poxy government gave away our country! We now are the slaves of Germans.

  • @antiepw

    surely that'd mean 'We'll have our day.'

  • ata fe gheall ag eirinn..... whos lives are pledged to ireland.... not to the E.U.. not to the U.N.. not sarkozy or ankala whatever her name is.... but to an phoblacht na hEirinn. IRELAND

  • The language is Gaelic, if you look at the English 'translation' (because they can't say it properly).

    Gaeilge is the most important thing to Ireland, along with our Culture, and we're losing it big time. *Sadface*

  • 26+6=1 <3

  • Tha sinn gle mhath. Alba agus Eirinn gu brath.

  • fukn spud eatin leprachaun lickn irish bastards!!

  • @skewer91 What exactly do you think you'll achieve by writing that ?

    Do you think people will think you're a racist, big man over the internet ? In your dreams, you're probably a fucking coward who would regret ever saying it and run away like a coward if you said that to any proud Irishman's face

  • @AlanF1994 even the words he uses i said ur between 12-16

  • @skewer91 Fuck off you toffee-nosed, in-bred, silver spooned wankstain.

  • @skewer91 Twat.....since when was it cool to be racist?

  • @skewer91

    Leprechaun*

  • @mymumrockslol I can tell you are anglicised......because you use the word gaelic....and your username is "mum" mum is from the norman french word for mother.....history motherfucker!....do you read it ;) ;)

  • @skewer91 Fucking*

  • @skewer91 eating*, licking*, Irish*

  • T.T so sad and yet so beautiful my heart does go out to every one in Ireland

  • I've never hear anyone sing it in English

  • @Gordonisgreat try and search "a soldiers song" and pick the one with the soldier on it then you will hear it in english :)

  • @kallemick - I wasn't complaining. It seems counter-intuitive to sing it in English. It is the Irish anthem after all.

  • @Gordonisgreat oh sorry i didnt mean to sound rude i just wanted to show the english version..... anyway something strange is that it was actually made in english first and then translated to irish

  • Beautiful song <3

    Irish and proud!

  • why on earth would someone dislike this?

  • tiocfaidh ar la

  • Where's the first verse... >.<

    

  • @munkyspaz69R .....This is the full National anthem. Only the Chorus of the ''Soldiers song '' is the anthem

  • @darrin42 This isn't the full song you're missing Seo dhibh a cháirde duan Óglaigh,

    Cathréimeach briomhar ceolmhar,

    Ár dtinte cnámh go buacach táid,

    'S an spéir go min réaltogach

    Is fonnmhar faobhrach sinn chun gleo

    'S go tiúnmhar glé roimh thíocht do'n ló

    Fé chiúnas chaomh na hoiche ar seol:

    Seo libh canaídh Amhrán na bhFiann.

  • @darrin42 This isn't the full Amhrán na bhFiann do....

  • it was written in english

  • Proud to be Irish

  • what you all moaning about?id rather sing an irish anthem that sucks than the english one :)

  • If Amhrán na bhFiann sucks, then Irish history sucks, and the sacrifices of the men and women of 1916 suck too. Sorry mate—there is too much behind this song to ever reduce it to the level you describe

  • to all those tiocfaidh ár lá bunch...tháinig ár lá cheana féin...get over it.

  • @squirell1952 How does are natural anthem suck. I can speak Irish and I dont think I am elite.

    Im just proud to be Irish.

    If you are Irish well then come on and be proud mate.

  • Nice song, shame it got ruined by the toicfaidh ar la crap at the end...

  • the language is not Gaeilic.

    its Gaeilge and believe me i would know cause i speek it everyday.

  • @jd47 gach lá? Tá sé go breá. Slán agus beannacht !!!

  • Tá siad go haílainn :D, english is a foreign language where i come from :D

  • Its nice to know your all(including poster) completely ignorant.

    Its in Gaelic, not in Irish...

    Saying this song is in Irish is like saying the popular tune Gasolina by Daddy Yankee is in fact in Mexican and not Spanish...

  • @branscoset actually its in Irish. People get the word Gaelic from Gaeilge, the Irish word for Irish.

  • @branscoset Its Gaelige. Gaelic is a sport were you get 3 points for a goal and a point for hitting it over the bar.

  • @branscoset

    are you Irish?because I am, and I can tell you that any Irishman would be quite content to refer to our native language as "Irish".

    In any level of education, be it primary,secondary or third level,if you study our language it is referred to as "Irish".

    So again I'll ask: are you Irish?

  • @branscoset Nil a fhios agat faoi rud ar bith ar dteanga an tir seo.

  • @MegaMrRob ach tá is agam gach rud faoi an teanga sa tír seo mar chaghaigh mé leabhairt é gach lá i mo saol.

    conas atá tú mo chara.

    slan

  • @branscoset no im pretty sure everyone i know says Irish or as Gaeilge . never ever heard anyone say gaelic when talkin bou eh. so yeah FAIL :)

  • It's very pretty. Sounds very Irish! I would not mistake it for any other country's anthem! Such a pretty tune. Irish is one of those magic languages - like Welsh and Gaelic and the others- languages that should endure - there is so much history there and culture it would be such a shame if these languages died out.

  • @WOLFGANGER666 lol I saw you on another vid, which highlights the fact that you're just going from vid to vid trolling Irish people. You're pathetic. Nothing you say matters, or changes anything about Irish customs, culture and most importantly our overwhelming pride. I just thought I'd let you know that.

  • I'm English but I keep coming back to play this anthem. I'll watch the Irish rugby matches just to see the passion of the players singing this. It's uplifting and I can understand why @evilcarlycarmine feels proud to be Irish.

  • it's probably the guy whose singing this that makes me feel Proud to be irish

  • Biervampy, Wow that was a toung twisting paragraph to read out loud. The funny thing is that I understood every word. Now that's creepy nicht wahr?

    Bill

  • i really adore irish music :) this one is great

  • lisburn-lisbon thats not the point u stupid irish twat! you changed ur mind because ur all brean dead sheep & did what ur masters told u 2 & about what u said about not knowing what was in it the first time, well the world knows all 2 well that that was just an excuse 2 try & hide your countrys cowardness in been bullied into doing what u were told! oh & about the name the fighting irish, well you fools gave that nick name 2 urselves no 1 else see's u as fighters! God bless Poland!!!!!

  • @WOLFGANGER666 i think you should treat better the country that receives with the open arms most of your immigrants, oh, and i respect so much your country, i am even learning its language?

  • Comment removed

  • @MrBlatherblather- The valor of the Irish is well known, and could hardly be questioned. But the Polish put up one hell of a fight when Hitler and Stalin turned on them. Then many Poles became part of the resistance movement, which gave the Nazis and the Soviets no end of trouble. They even fought on after the war ended, and the Polish government in exile stubbornly held out in Britain until the Wall came down and they could finally come home again. The Polish are as brave as anybody.

  • @Jurassic0Al Yes I apologize. I was trying to piss off the ass I responded too. I have nothing but the utmost respect for the Polish, they've actually gone through a lot of what the Irish have too. I meant nothing by the comment other than to poke at the other.

  • @MrBlatherblather- Oh, I know what that's like. I once took a similar shot at a Finnish guy when I was arguing with him on some other video. Ironically, I respect the Finns plenty, if only for the terrific fight they put up when the Soviets invaded. But like I said, certainly is tempting to poke at the other guy in an argument.

  • Can someone write the words phonetically for us German speakers to learn it in Irish?

    Bill

  • @thedonegan Hallo Bill, die Deutsche Lautumschreibung des Irischen Gaelisch ist nicht so einfach. Ich versuche es mal und sende dir das als PN durch. Nur ein paar Tipps: s vor und nach i und e wird i.d.R. wie sch ausgesprochen vor a, o, u nicht. aoi ist oft als ein i oder ui wie ui aber das u dann kurz, vielleicht wie im Englischen wish, also nicht so ganz easy. Aber ich probier es mal anhand meines einzigen Lehrbuchs in deutscher Sprache in Lautschrift zu "übersetzen".

  • @thedonegan

    here is a link it should help, the courus is written phonetically, it has got a translation into engish if thats any help, p.s. hope your not from saxony ;-) haha

  • Liked it till i saw the Tiocfaidh ár lá

  • @banjojackson2 Fuck off.

  • @KungfuCow5 Haha. Good point. Dickwad

  • @banjojackson2 why?

  • nobody has a clue what that guy with all the thumbs up said

  • @devynh99 Wrote the lyrics to the song

  • @devynh99 its the lyrics to the song :)

  • Éire go deo!

  • @celticbhoy216 GREAT IN IRISH TAL

  • You know the song was originally written in English? This is a translation- still beautiful, though.

  • @Epidemic52

    Whatever. Hater. Yes you are so dont reply. Be patriotic and love your country or back on the boat you go!

  • @CandyKidable I'm not trying to be hatin', yo! I just think that it's interesting that the song was originally composed in English. I agree that it should be in Irish, I think It's a beautiful song.

  • i hear this tune i get shivers down my spine , i'm irish and love everything that is. do you realise the man that owns jacobs put hundreds of irish men and women on the dole, just so he could have more profit by sorcing once irish made biscuits to england , shame on you i say, how can an irish man take the food from irish mouths and justify by it saying its good business, he's a traitor to everything that our flag represents. remember jacobs 1916, there are many will never forget,but he did.

  • Tá a lán daoine sa Sassana homognaesach

  • go raibh maith agat!!

  • its a terror iam an irish man born and bred and i am ashamed that i dont know any irish as it was not thought in my school nor was an chance ever offered to learn i wish i could speak it its another part of us that the brits have tryed to destroy iam for irish teaching in every school in ireland least not we forget our heritage.

  • I wish I could speak Irish/Gaelic, it's such a beautiful language.

  • @FredericBayer Gaelige but its ok at least you want to learn it :)

  • @FredericBayer It's Gaeilge not Gaelic :) Gaelic is a sport.. Just thought i'd let you know :)

  • @eimearr94 Actually, Wikipedia disagrees, but I was equally mistaken, so thanks for getting me to actually look it up :-)

  • i really like the last part i think it was "Seo libh canaig amhrán na bhFiann " (i copyed and pasted from another comment)

  • i'm glad to finally be a full irish citizen

  • Les langues celtiques sont toujours aussi complexes... Entre le breton, le cymraeg et votre gaeilge, je ne comprends jamais le lien entre la prononciation et l'écriture.

    Apprenez et surtout utilisez le gaeilge!! Vous ne pouvez pas vous assimiler aux tocards d'Angleterre!!

    Amicalement vôtre!

  • Á Chara, níl sen la

  • I'm a non irish person trying to learn this song. I picked it randomly as a national anthem to learn 'Irish' I says 'how hard could it be, it's probably about bowlers hats and guinness'. ....if anyone needs me I'll be hanging myself.

  • @slenderlovingcare try googling the phonetic version, its just written as it sounds, which is miles easier to learn :)

  • tiocfaidh ar la ppl

  • although i am german,this anthem brings me more to tears,than the german does.i wished we could have heard it at  the world-cup in south africa:

    ERIN GO BRAGH!!

  • @trotteltrio As an Irishman with a German girlfriend I learnt the German one too. We are brothers in a weird way :)

  • Fuck I love this song makes me want to wipe my ass with the union jack. A country so beautiful should always be free

  • Unreal! Power to freedom! Up the RA!

  • ONLY SONG IN THE WORLD THAT MAKES ME CRY LIKE A BABY.

    IRISH PRIDE!!

  • best anthem in the world!! i like both english and irish and no matte rwhat language its on its the best anthem ever!

  • may the gods smile upon us may ur sword be sharp may your skills be swift as for today we strike vengince on thy enemy may the power of freedom guide your hand to the land of the honorable and brave

    long live irland

  • Es lebe Irland! Sprecht Irisch!

    .. ist doch eine tolle Sprache :-)

  • love the last part "Seo libh canaig amhrán na bhFiann "

  • What a lovely song!

  • Who is singing this? - beautifull !

  • I.R.A is the only way to shoot out the brits out of our Beautiful land ... éirinn go Bràch

  • Long live Ireland!

    Вы выстояли после многовековых репрессий, голода 1846-48, и прочих несчастий. Держитесь, друзья!

  • I may be a Brit and I dont know any Gallic but this is a Brilliant anthem better than God Save the Queen

    This is just my opinion but I think that Ireland and Britian need to work together now if we want to get any where on the North and are Relations or we could just continue 800 years of blood

  • @thebritish25 fuck the brits work together me ass

    may the gods smile upon us

    may ur sword be sharp may your skills be swift as for today we strike vengince on thy enemy may the power of freedom guide your hand to the land of the honorable and brave

    long live irland

  • Éirinn go brách

  • Happy St. Patricks Day everyone. Erin go bragh!:-)

  • best anthem on earth

  • agree my anthem sucks

  • I love this song, I'm part Irish, and I'm very much in touch with the Irish part of me.

    Dílis i gcónaí

    Semper Fi

  • i hate the english version i cant believe it took me MONTHS to realise the irish is the best

  • sinne fianna Fail!

  • What a beautiful language, I have never heard it in context before.

  • This is absolutely beautiful.

  • I'm Breton. I just want say to your I love you hymn, like my country's hymn : the bro gozh ma zadou.

    For Britanny Michael Collins is a hero, we want look like his fight.

    Celtic spirit.

  • what is a breton?

  • I'm not sur Breton is the right word... A Breton, is a people who lives in Britanny, in the east of France. But in Britanny (Bretagne) we are like Ireland during the XIX century, but we are not dominated by United Kingdom, but by France!

    If you know the right name of my country and his inhabitants, can you say me please? Thank you.

  • Breton and Brittanny, you have similar celtic music trditions as far as i know.. its cool! Breton comes up in wikipedia is anyones interested.. :)

  • Collins is indeed a hero

  • But why are people commenting and saying they were glad he died?

  • Not sure what reason theyd have

  • Is Collins a hero in Ireland today? Not trying to offend anyone i just find the culture interesting:-)

  • Of course he's a hero!

  • Comment removed

  • To me he is, anyway. It's a great pity that the noble name of the IRA and Irish Republicanism has been sullied by the terrorist scum who have operated under the name since. Collins would never have supported the killing of innocent civilians or sectarian hatred, and it pains me to see his name used to support sectarian atrocities.

  • Totally agree

  • Oh please!

    Collins' IRA "less sectarian" than todays IRs? Nonsense!

    Love 'em or hate 'em, the majority of those killed by the Provos were NOT civilians (Look up the figures quoted by the Univ of Ulster's CAIN project)!

    It's not "sectarian" to kill combatants, spies, or criminals of all faiths and ethnicities.

  • -I know most of the fatalities were army personnel. That doesn't change the fact that civilians were deliberately targeted by the IRA. By planting car bombs in predominantly unionist areas, or in pubs in mainland Britain, you're sending out an unequivocable sectarian statement. That's on top of the actual sectarian intimidation many of my friends from both communities experienced during the troubles.

  • "That doesn't change the fact that civilians were deliberately targeted by the IRA."

    As did the old IRA.

    "sending out an unequivocable sectarian statement"

    Placing most army patrols in Catholic areas or interning 1000s of Cats while interning just 2 Prods are sectarian statements too. How much of the civilians killed by the British army were Catholic Irish as opposed to Ulster Protestants? Also, bombs were placed only in England, not Wales or Scotland...and they're mostly Protestant too.

  • And my argument was never that the Protestants were blameless in the matter. The fact that they were sectarian as well is completely irrelevant.

  • Tiochfaidh ar la

  • NO vote = we are still in the EU, like we are now, and the EU must be more accountable to the people of Europe. It stops the runaway power of the EU parliament and its gravy train expenses.

    YES vote = no way back, we can't undo mistakes made in the treaty or the EU, our say in EU is halved. Some countries say is doubled.

    The mature thing is to stand up and tell EU to correct the problems, not to give in to the accusing tut-tutting of EU politicians trying to tell us we should be embarrassed.

  • dont know what ya's are fightin about, end of the day, the south ditched the north, left us ta live with the orange cunts, like we had a choice, we were the ones gettin killed, not the south, get yer facts right, we lived it, so it dosn't matter what prick was responsible, they let us go on livin like that up here

  • But what was the south supposed to do? Invade N.I and take on the British army??

  • The North voted by a democratic majority to remain part of the UK. We didn't ditch you, we respected that choice.

  • it was not 'democratic ' in the true sense of the word since lloyd george had the boundaries changed after being advised that the vote would leave the new state with a catholic majority and for the brits and their friends that was a bit like having 'dirty taigs ' living next to door oneself. The illogical part of the provence of nothern irleand is that they excluded 3 counties of ulster.. Serves you lot right there for what happened you can blame your forefathers for making a appartheid state

  • Having the North as part of a 32 county Republic would have led to a massive armed uprising by the unionists though, leading to many more deaths. They had to be allowed to stay a part of the UK to avoid huge casualties on both sides of the divide. The 6 counties of the North were the 6 counties that, in 1922, had a unionist majority of the population. Donegal, Monaghan and Cavan had nationalist majorities.

  • damn the majority in the south just had to ethniclly clense those goons in the wee north, butcher each and everyone of them, or to hell or fuck off back to scotland

  • Great to hear this song in the Irish Language. The national anthem sounds best sung in the country's language.

  • @allieree

    gaelic.

  • @allieree Gaelic

  • @branscoset actually it is Gaeilge, Gaelic is what we call our national sports:) Trust me I live hear. the Gaelic language includes Scottish, Irish and Manx. So to conclude our language is Irish (Gaeilge)

  • Mícheál Ó Coileáin un verdadeiro conxunto!

  • Question: Why does the Irish Rugby Team have a different anthem, "Ireland's Call"?  Not knocking anything... I'm actually curious about the culture.

  • its because the north wont accept the souths anthem and visa versa so they just wrote a new one :)

  • Thompsonf1001....

    You and your explaination fail.

  • The reason that the Irish Rugby Team have a different anthem is because Ireland has a All-Ireland rugby team but Ireland is still diveded (for the moment anyway).

    I was thought that it would be good for the sake of relationships between Prodstants in the north and a Catholic all over the Island if a second Rugby atherm was creathed.

    Amhrán na bhFiann is still played when the team play at home.

  • Ah, I see. That's interesting. I've always found the Irish to be a fascinating culture. Thanks for educating a Canadian.

  • thats what i sayd :-|

  • It's because the Rugby team is mixed. Protestant and Catholic. As the Protestant's don't like the song, we made a new one. Hope that answer's your question.

  • Pure Brillent Song :D

  • Woo! Ireland rocks!

    &hearts;

  • tiocifghd ar la baby xxx:)

  • Sinne Fianna Fáil, atá faoi gheall ag Éirinn, Buíon dár slua thar toinn do ráinig chughainn, Faoi mhóid bheith saor Seantír ár sinsear feasta, Ní fhágfar faoin tíorán ná faoin tráill. Anocht a théam sa bhearna baoil, Le gean ar Ghaeil, chun báis nó saoil, Le gunna scréach faoi lámhach na bpiléar, Seo libh canaig amhrán na bhFiann
  • love this song

  • erie go bragh!

  • Aye the boundary commission was supposed to save our asses in the north by redifining the boarder and transfering big lumps of Tyrone, Armagh and Fermanagh etc out of Northern Ireland to the free state! But nooo..somebody had to shoot Collins and Griffith had a hemorrhage..no fate hasnt been kind to us northerners!:(

  • The greatest hero this country has ever f**king had!! Unbelievable. Never in my life did I think I'd hear an Irish man say something like this... What a shame...

  • the north sold themselves out, they voted to remain in the uk, so it was there fault the troubles happened, Collins was a fuckin legend, i suport the IRA but during the civil war they where fighting for indapendance from people who didnt have indapendance, your such a retard

  • Are you serious? The people in the north that voted to stay in the UK were the Unionist majority that was planted there. Irishmen didn't even have a vote in the north. I'm very glad Mick Collins was shot, he was a total eijet to say yes ti the treaty, any real Irishman would have went with de Valera.

  • what!!!!!!!!!, devalera was a fuckin handicaped cunt, he rejected the treaty, caused a civil war and a few years later accepted it, he was a fuckin retard, and if any real irish man would have went with devalera, how come they went with Mick, are u tellin me that the IRA could have continued the war. if thats what u believe then your a bigger fuckin retard than i thought you were, and i know we had no say in the north, and we still dont, but we will in a few years, so get over yourself

  • well said, we have been waiting 80 plus years and are still waiting, we should have finished the job in the 20s

  • are you serious? the man who organised most of the IRA military movements versus the man Dev who caused a civil war and wanted to turn the republic into a isolationist bacwater. If he had his way, ireland would still be living in the 1850s, no radio, tv, internet and all or anyhing! Thank God for Lemass and co.
