A day in the life
rise in the name of god
and the sun will shine
when we'll hit the gpo
We pledge our lives
shatterproof strength of soul
as I'm willing to die
anything for the cause
I am flesh of the flesh
i am bone of their bone
their shame is my shame
and i ve reddened for
those who must be free
are now walking with me
my lads, our land
my sorrow, my joy
my lads, our land
our nation, my soul
If you strike us down
we shall renew the fight
and i turned my face now
our dream will never die
I'm only a fool
but what if the dream comes true?
Don't remember my failures
a terrible beauty's born
We've done right
our deeds will never die
for those who cried
we will survive
we've done right
our feat will never die
we gave our lives
for a great desire
Tír gan teanga, tír gan anam*
Tir gan tengca tir ga nanam
