Amhrán na bhFiann

***Amhrán na bhFiann*** je državna himna Irske. Iako se obično pjeva na irskom jeziku, pjeva se i prijevod originala, isto tako poznat pod engleskim nazivom '''''A Soldier's Song'''* (*Vojnička pjesma*), ili kao **Državna himna Irske** (**Amhrán Náisiúnta na hÉireann**). Tekst pjesme je napisao Peadar Kearney, ujak Brendana Behana, a muziku Kearney i Patrick Heeney. Komponirana je godine 1907. i prvi put objavljena *Irish Freedomu* goodine 1912. Verzija na irskom je djelo Bulmera Hobsona. 

Za mnoge nacionaliste pjesma predstavlja himnu cijele Irske, te se stoga, naprimjer, izvodi na mečevima Gelskog atletskog udruženja širom ostrva. Unionisti, s druge strane, odbacuju upotrebu *Amhrán na bhFiann*, pa se na međunarodnim utakmicama sveirskog ragbi tima izvodi *Ireland's Call*, (u Irskoj) zajedno uz *Amhrán na bhFiann*).

:Seo dhibh a cháirde duan Óglaigh,
:Cathréimeach briomhar ceolmhar,
:Ár dtinte cnámh go buacach táid,
:'S an spéir go min réaltogach
:Is fonnmhar faobhrach sinn chun gleo
:'S go tiúnmhar glé roimh thíocht do'n ló

:Fé mhóid bheith saor.
:Sean tír ár sinsir feasta
:Ní fhagfar fé'n tiorán ná fé'n tráil
:Anocht a théam sa bhearna bhaoil,
:Le gean ar Ghaeil chun báis nó saoil
:Le guna screach fé lámhach na bpiléar
:Seo libh canaídh Amhrán na bhFiann. 

:Cois bánta réidhe, ar árdaibh sléibhe,
:Ba bhuachach ár sinsir romhainn,
:Ag lámhach go tréan fé'n sár-bhrat séin
:Tá thuas sa ghaoith go seolta
:Ba dhúchas riamh d'ár gcine cháidh

### Na engleskom jeziku 
:We'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 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. 

:In valley green, on towering crag,
:Our fathers fought before us,
:And conquered 'neath the same old flag
:That'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 

:Sons of the Gael! Men of the Pale!
:The long watched day is breaking;
:The serried ranks of Inisfail
:Shall set the Tyrant quaking.
:Our camp fires now are burning low;
:See in the east a silv'ry glow,
:Out yonder waits the Saxon foe,
:So chant a soldier's song. 

:Chorus
