Amhrán na bhFiann / Oh-rawn nah Vee-on / A Soldier’s Song (A Warriors’ Song)

Sinne Fianna Fáil, / Shin-eh Fee-ah-na Faw-il / Soldiers are we,

atá faoi gheall ag Éirinn, / ah-taw fwee ghyal egg Ey-rin / whose lives are pledged to Ireland,

Buíon dár slua / Bween dawr slew / Some have come

thar toinn do ráinig chugainn, / har teen duh raw-nig hoo-in / from a land beyond the wave,

Faoi mhóid bheith saor, / Fwee voh-ij veh sayr / Sworn to be free,

Seantír ár sinsear feasta, / Shan-teer awr sheen-shur fast-a / no more our ancient sireland,

Ní fhágfar faoin tíorán ná faoin tráill. / Naw awg-fur fween teer-awn naw fween traw-il / Shall shelter the despot or the slave.

Anocht a théim sa bhearna baoil, / Ah-nukht a haym sah var-na bwayl / Tonight we man the “bearna baoil” (gap of danger),

Le gean ar Ghaeil, chun báis nó saoil, / leh gyan air Ghway-il khun baw-ish noh sayl / In Erin’s cause, come woe or weal,

Le gunnascréach faoi lámhach na bpiléar, / Leh gun-na shkraykh fwee law-vukh nah bil-ayr / ’Mid cannon’s roar and rifles’ peal,

Seo libh canaig’ amhrán na bhfiann. / Shuh liv con-eeg ow-rawn nah vee-un / We’ll chant a soldier’s song.
