Ta deallramh 'gcuid sleanntrach' cur maise ar na gleanntain<br />

Biodh se againn anois:<br />
See who comes over the red blossomed heather.<br />
Their green banners kissing the pure mountain air,<br />
Heads erect, eyes to front, stepping proudly together.<br />
Sure freedom sits throned on each proud spirit there.<br />
Down the h<strong>ill</strong>s twining<br />
Their blessed steel shining<br />
Like rivers of beauty that flow from each glen.<br />
From mountain and valley,<br />
'Tis Liberty's rally-<br />
Out and make way for the bold Fenian men!<br />
Our prayers and our tears they have scoffed and derided.<br />
They've shut out God's sunlight from spirit and mind.<br />
Our foes were united and we were divided,<br />
We met and they scattered our ranks to the wind.<br />
But once more returning,<br />
Within our veins burning<br />
The fires that iIIumine dark Aherlow glen;<br />
We raise the old cry anew,<br />
Slogan of Conn and Hugh -<br />
Out and make way for the bold Fenian men!<br />
We've men from the Nore, from the Suir and the Shannon;<br />
Let the tyrants come forth, we'll bring force against force.<br />
Our pen is the sword and our voice is the cannon,<br />
Rifle for rifle and horse against horse.<br />
We've made the false Saxon yield<br />
Many a red battlefield:<br />
God on our side, we w<strong>ill</strong> triumph again;<br />
Pay them back woe for woe,<br />
Give them back blow for blow -<br />
Out and make way for the bold Fenian men!<br />
Side by side for the cause have our forefathers<br />
When our h<strong>ill</strong>s never echoed the tread of a<br />
In many a field where the leaden hail rattled<br />
Through the red gap of glory they<br />
And those who inherit<br />
Their name and their spirit<br />
W<strong>ill</strong> march 'neath the banners Qf<br />
