I’m not ashamed, as
A song won’t remind me that
I’m proud of my home.

Sinne Fianna Fail
Ata faoi gheall in Eirinn
Buion Dar slua
….
Hum the bits in between until the final two lines
…
Faoi lamhach na bpilear,
Seo bheinn canadh Ahmran na COME ON CAVAN!!!

It doesn’t say anything about not burning it.

I’m ashamed to admit that I don’t know my national anthem. I know it starts with Síne Fianna Fáil, but that’s it. Dario’s right… they just don’t instill the same pride over here in our young’uns.

In primary school they never saw fit to even teach us Amhran na bFhiann.
