The Irish language is an old language, yet over the years like most spoken languages changes with the times.

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

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

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
