作曲 : Anonymous Unknown The war trumpets sounded, our rights are in danger Shall the brave sons of Erin be deaf to their call When, freedom demands of both naitive and stranger Their aid, lest the greatest of nations should fall Shall this banner so dear to the exiled of the gael By traitors or rebels in anarchy's school Be dragged through the dust and disgraced in the vale While our people the sovereign inequity rule No I swear by the love that we bear dear ould Ireland And the vows we have pledged to the home of the free As we'd sheath our swords in the foes of dear Ireland We'll use them as freely against traitors to thee Need we fear for our cause as bold hearts up hold it See the men of all nations now march to the war May Erins stout heart stand by and behold them Nor strike in their might for the banner of star No no, with their life's blood they'll guard the rich treasure See how they respond to the call "shoulder arms!" Though endeared by those sacred ties with love beyond measure Oh bosoms-friends, children, and beauty's sweet charms Yet they they leave all behind and equip for the battle Between freedom and rapien like true sons of mars They'll conquer the traitors their cannon may rattle And bring back triumphant the banner of stars Oh, long may our flags wave in union together And the harp of green Erin still kiss the same breeze And brave ev'ry storm the becloud the fair weather Till our harp like the stars, flies o'er rivers and seas God prosper the bold heart on both land and the ocean Who go in defiance of danger and scars And send them safe home to their wives and their sweethearts With the harp of old erin and banner of stars
