Nóta: Canaimidne ‘amhrán’ in áit ‘laoithe’ mar tá ‘amhrán’ san tideal agus é aitheanta níos mó ná ‘laoithe’ nach bhfuil chomh coitianta sin na laethanta seo.

Leagan le cór

Amhrán Dóchais (italics in verse 1 and chorus for phonetic equivalent sounds)

Verse 1

Slán go deo le brón is buairt,
Slawn gu joe leh brohn is boort
Bye forever, sadness, sighs

Slán gan mhoill dár gcaoineadh dhuairc;
Slawn gon will dawr geena ghoorc
Bye right now to gloomy cries

Chorus

Canaim amhrán dóchais
Konum oh rawn doh khis
A song of hope I sing you

I dteanga bhinn na Fódhla,
I jonga vin na fohla
In Irish sweet and true

‘Gus seasaimis go beomhar
gus shasa meesh gu byowur
And let’s stand and sing it proudly

Os comhair an tsaoil.
Ohs kohr on tlooa
for all the world. X 2

2. Ní bheam feasta leasc gan luail,
No longer will I be lazy, unmoving,

Cráite, cromtha, fannlag, fuar.
Tormented, bent, weak, cold.

Neart is brí na hóige
Strength and youthful vigour

Dár dtarraingt tríd a’ gcomhlann,
Pulling us through this struggle

Is bainfimidne an ceo seo
And we’ll remove this fog

Do phór na dtréan. X2
For our offsprings’ strength. X2

3. Clanna Gael faoi réim gan ruaig!
The Gaels flourish unrouted!

Beidh siad saor is béarfaidh bua.
They will be free and be successful.  

Leanfaimidne an lóchrann
We will follow the torch

Do las ár sinsir romhainn,
That our ancestors lit for us

Is ní heagal linn go bhfeofaidh
And we do not fear that their bravery

A gcró ‘nár ndiaidh. X 2
will wither after we are gone. X2
