Paroles de Hino da Irlanda (A Soldier's Song)

We'll sing a song, a soldier's song With cheering, rousing chorus As round our blazing fires we thong The starry heavens o'er us Impatient for the coming fight And as we wait the mornings light Here in the silence of the night We'll sing a soldier's song 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 Baoghal In Erin's cause come woe or weal 'Mid cannon's roar and rifle's peal We'll chant a soldier's song In valley green or towering crag Our fathers fought before us And conquered 'neath the same old flag That's 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 sing a soldier's song 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 Baoghal In Erin's cause come woe or weal 'Mid cannon's roar and rifle's peal We'll chant a soldier's song Sons of the Gael! Men of the Pale! The Long watched day is breaking The serried ranks of Innisfail Shall set the tyrant quaking Our camp fires now are burning low See in the east a silvery glow Out yonder waits the saxon foe So sing a soldier's song 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 Baoghal In Erin's cause come woe or weal 'Mid cannon's roar and rifle's peal We'll chant a soldier's song
