A  CRUTHIN SONG OF CHIVALRY

THESE ARE THE LANDS OF THE CRUTHIN

THE LANDS OF THE  RED BRANCH CLAN

THESE ARE OUR  GLENS AND MOUNTAINS

OUR BORDER  THE BOYNE AND THE BANN

PREPARED TO DEFEND  OUR KINGDOM

PREPARED TO DIE FOR OUR LAND

WE ARE KNIGHTS OF A CHIVALROUS ORDER

WILLING TO DIE FOR THE RIGHT

SKILLED IN THE BATTLE AND BRAVE

THE SEA AT OUR BACK AS WE FIGHT

TO RESIST ALL WHO COME AGAINST US

FROM OUR BIRTH UNTIL THE GRAVE

NO ONE CAN MATCH OUR COURAGE

NO ONE  INFLICT  SUCH PAIN

THAT WE CANNOT RISE IN TRIUMPH

AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN.

WE STAND UNITED IN PURPOSE

TO FIGHT TILL THE BATTLE HAS CEASED

BUT WE PROFFER THE HAND OF FRIENDSHIP

TO THOSE WHO COME IN PEACE
