Amhrán na bhFiann
the Irish national anthem / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Amhrán na bhFiann" (say: OW-rawn nə VEE-(ə)n, meaning "The Soldier's Song") is the national anthem of Ireland, adopted in 1926. There is both an Irish version and an English version of the song; the English lyrics were written by Peadar Ó Cearnaigh in 1907, and the Irish lyrics were written by Liam Ó Rinn in 1923. It was composed by Peadar Ó Cearnaigh and Patrick Heeney in 1907.[1]
