Its normally sang in Irish.
It IS shit.
We have been debating changing it for years
What about that Rugby one? I don't remember the name but it's "shoulder to shoulder" or something. It seems pretty neat.
Thats because the Rugby team is a united ireland team. It makes northerners and southerners cringe
What are some of the suggested alternatives then?
Touchy subject. A lot of people are proud of the current one as it was sang during the rebellion. Lots of people want a non rebel all inclusive song to appease our future unionist citizens in the north
is this a sneaky reference to the European song contest
Soldiers on is shite but that is a bad rendition of it and it sound better in Irish.
I don't what the popular consensus would be but I've always thought this song would be good. It's written by the leader of the 1916 revolution.

*Soldiers song
That's more like something I'd expect. Sung in Irish at the very least.
It's sang in Irish m.youtube.com
The Soldiers Song, or Amhránn na Bhfiann as its more commonly known, was originally written in English yes but the version we have as our national anthem is in Irish, also it consists of only the chorus.
This is not a good version. It's pretty dope, as it's the song the Reveloutionary Brothers song when the leaders of 1916 were being brought out to be shot. They all thought they were going to be shot.
Full-tier Yeehadi stuff. We should emulate them. Out there yonder lays our Saxon foe.
>We are children of a fighting race/Which has never yet known disgrace
Here is a better version, in Irish, which is there actual anthem:youtube.com
This level of patriotism always scares the Anglo.

Ireland evokes nothing but indifference in the English.
Excuse me, best anthem coming through.
>Singing an anthem for evil monarchs
Nobody asked ya. Bong cunt.
God save the queen is kinda stupid, why save her when she has done nothing to save uk? Jerusalem is a better tune
That's strange because your empire began and died there. Everywhere were you had problems, be it in the Boer war, Republicans in Australia etc, and Uprisings in India, independence referendum in Scotland, the Irish and their descents are behind it.
It's a silly ignorance used by the English to ignore their worst defeat.
>singing in another language
Yeah sure stay mad Colin
>Jerusalem is a better tune
>Jerusalem is a better tune
Much better tune.
>God Save the Queen
Stems from when the Monarch was supposed to represent the Leviathan, the neutral god-head of the state. "God save the Queen" is the equivalent fo saying God save England.
>because your empire began and died there
Ireland isn't India.
but I thought gaelic is a meme language
Literally you are correct. But your foreign imperialism, colonialism begun there. Look how you used (((famine))) as a weapon in both Ireland and India etc..
>How Ireland’s Easter Rising of 1916 inspired the Indian struggle for freedom scroll.in
Don't be butthurt.
thats a nice song but doesnt sound very anthemy.
Imposition of Norman rule on Wales preceded it. Actually, you could start with 1066, with England itself as a colonised entity under Norman rule. There's a lot of continuity involved in that perspective, particularly in genetic terms.
I would say "English" imperialism really got started with Elizabeth. Before that there was a quite different relationship between the Normans and the indigenous Irish. After here, quite a many Norman lords joined them in rebellion.
I disagree, the proper chorus sounds moreso like an anthem than Solder's Song.
it is best sung when slaying british minions
i agree its 10 times better than that shit excuse for a song op posted. i guess as long as it instills a sense of pride in ones nation then it serves as a national anthem. im not irish so i cant speak for it.
what film?
I believe the film is "The Wind that Shakes the Barley." It's a good enough watch.
>this clems never seen The Wind that Shakes the Barley
Probably a good point. I don't know enough about that particular period, though it seems to me that tensions between the Crown and hibernicising Normans go back a few more centuries than that. Any romantics reading this should prepare themselves for the rather dismaying realisation that real history is almost always about landowning and "rights" to cream the profits of given territories.
ah yes i know that film never watched it though, just a small part. i will now.
I love the Irish even though they're not humans.
Just kidding. But we all prefer our own kind, it's science.
It is, but it's our meme language.
That was the rallying song of the Irish Volunteers. It was made the anthem because they didn't want the Shinners claiming it as their own.
blast the Wolfe Tones
O Canada is boring. Maple Leaf Forever was better:
youtube.com
Quebec's """anthem""" is just horrid:
youtube.com
Advance Australia Fair is also boring imo.
I kinda like O Canada, sad to see it mauled by demented SJW's.
that song is cringe the actual anthem is much better Irish anthem should be in irish
