Anyway, below is the simplest form of pronouncing the lyrics I can come up with. I'm not sure if it's an accent thing, based on singers coming from different parts of Ireland, or if because the vast majority of Irish speak English as their first language, so there's confusion on Gaelic pronunciation. For instance, the word "báis" in the 9th line I've heard pronounced "boss", "bwass", "boish", "bwoish", and "bwash". I've heard six different people sing this anthem in Gaelic, and each one has pronounced the words differently. The serried ranks of Inisfail Shall set the Tyrant quaking. Tonight we man the gap of danger In Erin's cause,Ĭome woe or weal 'Mid cannons' roar and rifles peal, Sworn to be free, No more our ancient sire land Some have come from a land beyond the wave. Soldiers are we whose lives are pledged to Ireland Ta sgéimhle 's sganradh i gcroídhthibh namhad, It was typically sung by conscripts at the end of basic training.Buidhean dár sluagh tar rúinn do ráinig chughainn,Ī bhuíon nách fann d'fhuil Ghaeil is Gall, An Afrikaans version of the song was the march of the South African Air Force Gymnasium until 1994. For example, in 1983 for the ten-year anniversary of the junta in Chile, the song was a part of the repertoire of the marching band of a Chilean military battalion. The song was and is continued to be perceived as a typical part of the German treasury of songs and is indeed to this day mostly inseparably tied with the German Bundeswehr. The military hits and marches were the "answer closer approaching war." In all about 15,000 National Socialist songs were produced between 19, as well as about one and a half million sheets of documents that alone were related to music. The close connection of National Socialism with the new technical mass media, especially film and radio, came to the contrary and swiftly ensured the popularity of the Nazi songs. The more that the songs served as a departure from the hard reality into dreamful felicity and affected a sentimental love song idyll, the better the "true face of Nazi Germany" could be hidden behind the joyful major-key notes. In particular the Reichpropagandaminister Joseph Goebbels, as Berszinski writes, noticed early on that down-to-earth, simple songs were a useful propaganda tool. Niel, who in early May 1933 joined the NSDAP and was among others became a "leading" Kapellmeister at the Reichsarbeitdienst, created numerous marches that largely served the National Socialist propaganda campaigns. It was a great success even before the start of World War II. The song was originally published in 1938 by the publishing firm Louis Ortel in Großburgwedel. The exact year of the song's origin is not known often the date is given as "about 1930," a date that, however, has not been substantiated. The lyrics of the song were written by Niel, a German composer of marches. A version, with Afrikaans lyrics, was the anthem of the South African Air Force during the apartheid years. The Finnish Army had a Finnish translation version, Kaarina, of this song during the World War II. The song has also become traditional by the highly Prussianized Chilean Army.
In itself, the song has no military themes, beyond the fact that the narrator (evidently a soldier, though this is not explicitly stated) is away from his beloved and recalls her when seeing the plant which has the same name.
The theme of the song is based on "Erika" being both a common German female first name and the name of the heather plant (German: Heide, Erika Latin: Erica), of which the heather-yards are considered as a "symbol of German natural heritage". The song was composed by Herms Niel in the 1930s, and it soon came into usage by the Wehrmacht, especially the Heer and, to a lesser extent, the Kriegsmarine.
Erika (or Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein) is a marching song of the German military.
