| [00:08.401] |
We'll sing a song, a soldier's song, |
| [00:12.406] |
With cheering rousing chorus |
| [00:15.156] |
As round our blazing fires we throng, |
| [00:20.909] |
The starry heavens o'er us; |
| [00:25.154] |
Impatient for the coming fight, |
| [00:29.413] |
And as we wait the morning's light, |
| [00:33.164] |
Here in the silence of the night, |
| [00:37.406] |
We'll chant a soldier's song. |
| [00:41.920] |
Soldiers are we |
| [00:45.669] |
Whose lives are pledged to Ireland; |
| [00:50.407] |
Some have come |
| [00:53.909] |
From a land beyond the wave. |
| [00:58.662] |
Sworn to be free, |
| [01:02.411] |
No more our ancient sire land |
| [01:06.914] |
Shall shelter the despot or the slave. |
| [01:13.163] |
Tonight we man the bearna baoil |
| [01:17.400] |
In Erin's cause, come woe or weal |
| [01:21.410] |
"Mid cannons" roar and rifles peal, |
| [01:25.414] |
We'll chant a soldier's song. |
| [01:30.158] |
In valley green, on towering crag, |
| [01:33.664] |
Our fathers fought before us, |
| [01:38.157] |
And conquered 'neath the same old flag |
| [01:42.163] |
That's proudly floating o'er us. |
| [01:46.655] |
We're children of a fighting race, |
| [01:50.661] |
That never yet has known disgrace, |
| [01:54.622] |
And as we march, the foe to face, |
| [01:58.865] |
We'll chant a soldier's song. |
| [02:03.359] |
Soldiers are we |
| [02:07.121] |
Whose lives are pledged to Ireland; |
| [02:11.628] |
Some have come |
| [02:15.372] |
From a land beyond the wave. |
| [02:19.876] |
Sworn to be free, |
| [02:24.116] |
No more our ancient sire land |
| [02:28.377] |
Shall shelter the despot or the slave. |
| [02:34.374] |
Tonight we man the bearna baoil |
| [02:38.617] |
In Erin's cause, come woe or weal |
| [02:42.868] |
"Mid cannons" roar and rifles peal, |
| [02:46.861] |
We'll chant a soldier's song. |
| [02:51.115] |
Sons of the Gael! Men of the Pale! |
| [02:55.115] |
The long watched day is breaking |
| [02:59.368] |
The serried ranks of Inisfail |
| [03:03.366] |
Shall set the Tyrant quaking |
| [03:07.864] |
Our camp fires now are burning low |
| [03:11.873] |
See in the east a silv'ry glow |
| [03:16.114] |
Out yonder waits the Saxon foe |
| [03:20.127] |
So chant a soldier's song |
| [03:24.862] |
Soldiers are we |
| [03:28.620] |
Whose lives are pledged to Ireland |
| [03:32.876] |
Some have come |
| [03:36.626] |
From a land beyond the wave |
| [03:41.360] |
Sworn to be free |
| [03:45.382] |
No more our ancient sire land |
| [03:49.622] |
Shall shelter the despot or the slave |
| [03:55.861] |
Tonight we man the bearna baoil |
| [04:00.119] |
In Erin's cause, come woe or weal |
| [04:04.127] |
'Mid cannons' roar and rifles peal |
| [04:08.113] |
We'll chant a soldier's song |
| [04:12.622] |
Soldiers are we |
| [04:16.364] |
Whose lives are pledged to Ireland |
| [04:20.874] |
Some have come |
| [04:24.617] |
From a land beyond the wave |
| [04:29.381] |
Sworn to be free |
| [04:32.879] |
No more our ancient sire land |
| [04:37.620] |
Shall shelter the despot or the slave |
| [04:43.626] |
Tonight we man the bearna baoil |
| [04:47.872] |
In Erin's cause, come woe or weal |
| [04:52.122] |
'Mid cannons' roar and rifles peal |
| [04:56.116] |
We'll chant a soldier's song |
