What are the lyrics to the Irish nation amthum called Ireland Ireland?

Answer 1

Ireland's National Anthem is Amhrán na bhFiann, which in English means the soldier's song. It is always sang in Irish as follows:

Sinne Fianna Fáil,

atá faoigheall 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

In English the above means:

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

Because the Irish Rugby team consists of players from the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland a song called Ireland's Call is played and sung at some matches instead of or along with the National anthem.

The lyrics of Ireland's Call are :

Come the day and come the hour, Come the power and the glory we have come to answer our country's call from the four proud provinces of Ireland,

Ireland, Ireland together standing tall shoulder to shoulder we answer Ireland's call,

From the mighty Glens of Antrim

From the rugged hills of Galway

From the walls of Limerick

And Dublin Bay

From the four proud provinces of Ireland

Ireland, Ireland together standing tall shoulder to shoulder we'll answer Ireland's call,

Hearts of Steel and heads unbowing

Vowing never to be broken

We will fight until we can fight no more

From the four proud provinces of Ireland

Ireland, Ireland together standing tall shoulder to shoulder we'll answer Ireland's call
