"Amhrán na bhFiann" ("The Soldier's Song") is Ireland's national anthem, adopted in 1926. There is both an Irish version and an English version of the song; the English lyrics were written by Peadar Ó Cearnaigh in 1909, and the Irish lyrics were written by Liam Ó Rinn in 1923. It was composed by Peadar Ó Cearnaigh and Patrick Heeney in 1910. The song has three verses, but only the choral refrain is used as the national anthem.

(English Lyrics)
Chorus:
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 sire land
Shall shelter the despot or the slave.
Tonight we man the gap of danger
In Erin’s cause, come woe or weal
’Mid cannons’ roar and rifles peal,
We’ll chant a soldier’s song.
