What song is this?

Doc

Do you know what song this is?
Ill leave out the first line cos that will give it away.

xxxx xxxx x xxxx x xxxxxxxx xxxx
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 sireland
Shall shelter the despot or the slave.
Tonight we man the 'bhearna bhaoil',
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 that 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 campfires 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]

Well do you know?

Kali

isn't that just a translation of the national anthem?

Doc

yep! The first line is "We'll sing a song, a soldier's song"
I never knew what I was singing befour when i sang it in
Irish.

Quite strong stuff.

Never mind the fact that this was posted recently... but the music boards are where "What song is this?" threads should go.

Makaveli

Oh I'm sorry.
Thank you so very much for posting a translation of our beloved nations anthem.
Were it not for you I would be living in ignorance as to what the words of the song really meant.

Crash

See, now you've hurt Makaveli's feelings!

I think the previous one was that one bout "do you know the words and how patriotic are you etc.

Pigman

Wow! It's great to know some pr.ick can post the entire national anthem under the guise of 'what tune is this?' without anyone realising what it is really in aide of and getting rid of it.

Delete this thread.
