Rouse, Hibernians, from your slumbers! See the moment just arrived Imperious
tyrants for to humble Our French brethren are at hand.
Vive la, United heroes, Triumphant always may they be, Vive
la, our gallant brethren That have come to set us free.
Erin´s sons, be not faint-hearted Welcome, sing then
"Ca ira", From Killala they are marching To the tune of "Vive la."
To arms quickly, and be ready, Join the
ranks and never flee, Determined stand by one another And from tyrants you´ll be free.
Cruel tyrants who oppressed
you, Now with terrors see their fall! Then bless the heroes who caress you, The Orange now goes to the wall.
Apostate
Orange, why so dull now? Self-willed slaves, why do you frown? Sure you might know how Irish freemen Soon would put
your Orange down.
