Irish Music 3 - A Soldiers Song

Irish National Anthem

The Soldier's Song - Words / Lyrics


We'll sing a 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 Bearna Baol
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

Sons of the Gael! Men of the Pale!
The long watched day is breaking;
The serried ranks of Inisfail
Shall set the Tyrant quaking.
Our camp fires now are burning low;
See in the east a silv'ry glow,
Out yonder waits the Saxon foe,
So chant a soldier's song.

I think you got the wrong flag. This one is red where it should be orange. No?

what's a soldier's song (i know its the Irish national anthem) but there is also God Save Ireland what's God save ireland?

[colummcclelland90]

"God Save Ireland" is an Irish rebel song. It served as an unofficial Irish national anthem for Irish nationalists from the 1870s to the 1910s

@MrJAYLEE169 You're A dumbass. You couldn't even say a simple sentence correctly.

[MrRossfraney]

@thpsbenage the rebels of 1916 sang this in english as they left the gpo

[14575019]

@MrJAYLEE169 Now you're making no sense. Please, you have some learning to do. THEN get back on YouTube.

[14575019]

@MrJAYLEE169 Is that the best you can come up with? Wow. You sound like a 12 year old. You really do. I don't see what's wrong with Jews. You're probably an Atheist. I hate Atheists. So go on home and stay off of the internet until you know how to use it.

[14575019]

@MrJAYLEE169 You really have some problems.
