The lyrics were written by Peadar Kearney and, together with Patrick Heeny, set it to music. The song was first published in Irish Freedom in 1912 and quickly became the most popular of the Irish Volunteers marching songs. In 1926 Amhrán na bhFiann/ The Soldiers Song was adopted as the National Anthem of Ireland, replacing the unofficial God Save Ireland.

Is fionmhar faobhrach sinn chun gleo S go tiúnmhar glé roimh tigheacht don ló, Fa ciúnas chaoimh na h-oidhche ar seol, Seo libh, canadh amhrán na bhFiann. SECOND VERSE: Cois banta réidhe, ar árdaibh sléibhe. Ba bhuadhach ár rinnsear romhainn, Ag lámhach go tréan fán sár- bhrat séin Tá thuas sa ghaoith go seolta; Ba dhúthchas riamh dár gcine cháidh Gan iompáil riar ó imirt áir, Siubhal mar iad i gcoinnibh rámhaid Seo libh, canaidh amhrán na bhFiann.

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 sireland Shall shelter the despot or the slave; tonight we man the Bearna Baoghal In Erins cause. come woe or weal; Mid cannons roar and rifles peal Well chant a soldiers song. FIRST VERSE: Well sing a song, a soldiers song With cheering, rousing chorus As round our blazing fires we throng, The starry heavens oer us; Impatient for the coming fight, And as we wait the mornings light here in the silence of the night Well chant a soldiers song. SECOND VERSE: In valley green or towering crag Our fathers fought before us, And conquered neath the same old flag Thats floating oer us, Were children of a fighting race That never yet has known disgrace, And as we march the foe to face, Well chant a soldiers song. THIRD VERSE: Sons of the Gael! Men of the Pale! The Long watched day is breaking; The serried ranks of Innisfail Shall set the tyrant quaking. Our camp fires now are burning low; See in the east a silvery glow, Out yonder waits the saxon foe, So chant a soldiers song.
