W: (1.) We'll sing a song, a soldier's song,
W: With cheering rousing chorus,
W: As round our blazing fires we throng,
W: The starry heavens o'er us;
W: Impatient for the coming fight,
W: And as we wait the morning's light,
W: Here in the silence of the night,
W: We'll chant a soldier's song.(Chorus)
W:
W: Chorus: Soldiers are we
W: whose lives are pledged to Ireland;
W: Some have come
W: from a land beyond the wave.
W: Sworn to be free,
W: No more our ancient sire land
W: Shall shelter the despot or the slave.
W: Tonight we man the bhearna bhaoil*
W: In Erin's cause, come woe or weal
W: 'Mid cannons' roar and rifles' peal,
W: We'll chant a soldier's song
W:
W: (2.) In valley green, on towering crag,
W: Our fathers fought before us,
W: And conquered 'neath the same old flag
W: That's proudly floating o'er us.
W: We're children of a fighting race,
W: That never yet has known disgrace,
W: And as we march, the foe to face,
W: We'll chant a soldier's song.(Chorus)
W:
W: (3.) Sons of the Gael! Men of the Pale!
W: The long-watched day is breaking;
W: The serried ranks of Inisfail
W: Shall set the Tyrant quaking.
W: Our camp fires now are burning low;
W: See in the east a silv'ry glow,
W: Out yonder waits the Saxon foe,
W: So chant a soldier's song.(Chorus)

W: * = "gap of danger"; approx. pronunciation "barna bail"
