Wolfe Tones - A Soldiers Song (Irish National Anthem English Ver Lyrics
EnglishWe'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 wewhose lives are pledged to Ireland;Some have comefrom a land beyond the wave.Sworn to be free,No more our ancient sire landShall shelter the despot or the slave.Tonight we man the gap of dangerIn 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 flagThat'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
