Ireland's Call
Ireland's Call is the anthem for the Ireland national rugby union team. The anthem replaced "Amhrán na bhFiann" because the players had came from both parts of the island of Ireland.
Lyrics
[change | change source]In most games today, the first part has been sung, then the chorus two times.
Part 1
Come the day and come the hour
Come the power and the glory
We have come to answer our country's call
From the four proud provinces of Ireland
Chorus
Ireland, Ireland
Together standing tall
Shoulder to shoulder
We'll answer Ireland's call
Part 2
From the mighty glens of Antrim
From the rugged hills of Galway
From the walls of Limerick and Dublin Bay
From the four proud provinces of Ireland
Part 3
Hearts of steel and heads unbowing
Vowing never to be broken
We will fight until we can fight no more
For the four proud provinces of Ireland
Part 4
Erin's warriors, clad in emerald
Steadfast souls confront their challenge
'Neath the glass sky they assemble
For the four proud provinces of Ireland
