Hark to the tramp of the young guard of Erin Firm is each footstep and erect is each head Soldiers of freedom unfearing and eager To follow the teaching of her hero dead On for freedom Fianna Eireann Set we our faces to the dawning day The day in our own land when strength and daring Shall end forevermore the Saxon sway Strong be our hands like the Fianna Eireann Who won for glory in the days that are gone Clean be our thinking and truthful our speaking That we may preserve her when the fight is done On for freedom Fianna Eireann Set we our faces to the dawning day The day in our own land when strength and daring Shall end forevermore the Saxon sway Soldiers and champions of Erin our mother Fear we no Sassenach his scheme nor his steel Foes of the foeman but comrades and brothers Of all who are striving for our Eire's weal On for freedom Fianna Eireann Set we our faces to the dawning day The day in our own land when strength and daring Shall end forevermore the Saxon sway
