please, help me about national anthem

**tonycuna** · 11/04/2005, 7:39 PM

Hi everybody,
I'm an italian boy, 21y old, who support Ireland national team.
I'll be in Lansdowne Road next 17th august, to see ireland play against italy.
I'll be in south terrace, giving all myself to sing for our irishmen onto the pitch.
I just need a help from anyone of you, cause I dont know gaelic, but I want to sing the national anthem with all the other people in Lansdowne.

So, could anyone of you answer me, writing the words of national anthem not in gaelic (I've already that words), but as well as I've to sing them.

You know, I need how I've to pronounce them.

Thank you very much

always c'mon Ireland!

You're an Ireland and a Cobh fan?

**tonycuna** · 11/04/2005, 7:44 PM

yes!
I support Cobh Ramblers, although I'm a very very fan of Arsenal

About Ireland, I love it, and I support with all myself the national team!

Is this strange in your opinion?

**Colie** · 11/04/2005, 8:18 PM

You might find it a bit strange that you're one of only a few people singing it!

Fair play to ya bud, you're making a right effort.

This is the bit we sing at the games, Gaeilge atop, phonetic below:

Sinne Fianna Fail, ata faoi gheall ag Eirinn;
Sheena Feena Fal, a-taw fay yal egg air-in;

buion d'ar slua thar toinn do rainigh chugainn. Faoi mhoid bheith saor,
bween dor slooa har tin duh raw-nig hoo-een. Fwee voedj veh sayr,

sean-tir ar sinnsear feasta, ni fhagfar faoin tioran na faoin traill;
shan teer are shin-sher fas-ta, nee fawg-ferr fween tee-rawn naw fween troyl,

Anocht a theam sa bhearna bhaoil, le gean ar Ghaeil chun bas no saoil;
ah-nocht ah hay-im sah varina vweel, le gyan err Gwail khun boss no sayl;

le gunna screach faoi lamhach na bpilear, seo libh canaig Amhran na bhFiann.
le gon-nuh shkrayk fay lawch na bill-air, shuh liv kah-nig Aw-rawn na bhFiann

Thank you very very much

I'll put it on my mind!

C'mon!

a bit clearer:

Sinne Fianna F�il, (Sheena Feena fall)
At� F� gheall ag �irinn, (A-taw fay yal egg air-in)
Buidhean d�r sluagh tar r�inn do r�inig chughainn (bween dor slooa, har tin duh raw-nig hween.)
F�mho�dh bhe�rh saor, (Fwee voij vay sair)
Sean-t�r �r sinnsear feasta (shan teer are shin-sher fas-ta)
N� f�gfar f�'n t�or�n n� fa'n tr�il; (nee fawg-ferr fween tear-on naw fween troyl)
Anocht a theigeamh sa bhearna baoghail, (ah-nocht ah hay-im sah varna vweel)
Le gean ar Gaedh� chun b�is n� saoghail, (le gyan err Gwail khun boss no sayl)
Le gunna sgr�ach: F� lamhach na pil�ar. (le gon-nuh shkrayk fay law-voc na bill-air)
Seo Libh canaidh amhr�n na bhFiann. (shuh liv konig Aw-rawn na bhFiann)

and people, if an Italian is willing to learn it and sing it, surely everyone on this board has to know it by now. Although, I'd guess at about 40%.

c'mon Ireland!

ironic here i know, but just a wee correction on your english

please help me with the national anthem/ not 'about'

i assume you would be happy with the correction, not offended? i hope

ciao bello!

**tonycuna** · 12/04/2005, 7:35 PM

no problem with the correction, I always need it

I just want to add that my love for Ireland is really true, cause in Italy we have a national team without temperament, and apart from football, I love irish spirit sincerely.

-Tanti saluti a Tuff Paddy e Cowboy, grazie per il vostro sostegno, forza Irlanda!-

I hope you'll can accept me as an irish, despite I wasn't born in Ireland

Many cheers to you all

Forza Irlanda! - C'mon Ireland!

Prego, Don Cuna!

Would be better to say 'without passion' in this case instead of temperament.

...I hope you'll accept me...

Sorry, I have an Italian flatmate and it is just like a habit now for me correcting him

We accept anyone who supports Ireland here!! Benvenuti! (spelling??)

it's right.
just "benvenuto" coz it's singular.

Cheers!

Grazie ! Do you have any jokes about people from San Remo? My flatmate is from there and it is so easy to wind him up (he takes jokes seriously

) It provides some entertainment in the evenings when we all have dinner!

I don't know,
I just think about a words-trick,
you can tell him : "San Remo ---> San Scemo"

('scemo', in english: silly or stupid)

I know where your coming from there I have too say, I sometimes get ''how come your not at Wembley'' from some of the uneducated who have not learned about the word Emigration, so you may get ''how come your not at the Stadio Del Alpi'' or ''the San Siro'', even though Italy will be playing us.
