In the land of Ireland green and free lives the spirit of the Gael
Eternal as the Shamrock’s soul and the dream that will not fail
This land I love, this land is mine by ancient Royal decree
My place of birth, my island home oh, my Ireland green and free

Chorus: Ireland! Ireland! Our hopes they will prevail
Forever free through all eternity lives the spirit of the Gael.

In distant lands and foreign climes our sons and daughters sing
The songtime history of our land and the joys that it can bring
The times have changed but Irish ways are carved in Irish bone
Our race as one when peace is won and no hero stands alone,

Chorus

In our Nation’s name we now proclaim our Irish flag unfurled
And send this Gaelic message free to the nations of the world
This land I love This land is mine by ancient Royal decree
My place of birth my island home oh, my Ireland green and free,

Chorus
