"Se posicionan por el honor de Irlanda,
como sus hermanas en días que han pasado,
y marcharan con sus hermanos hacía la libertad, las Soldados de Cumann na mBan. "
El párrafo de arriba esa un extracto de una canción de Brian O’Higgins dedicada a Cumann na mBan, cuya letra en inglés dice así:
"All honour to ÓGlaigh na hÉireann,
All praise to the men of our race,
Who, in day of betrayal and slavery,
Saved Ireland from ruin and disgrace.
But do not forget in your praising,
Of them and the deeds they have done,
Their loyal and true-hearted comrades,
The Soldiers of Cumann na mBan.
They stand for the honour of Ireland,
As their sisters in days that are gone,
And they’ll march with their brothers to freedom,
The Soldiers of Cumann na mBan.
No great-hearted daughter of Ireland,
Who died for her sake long ago,
Who stood in the gap of her danger,
Defying the Sassenach foe,
Was ever more gallant or worthy,
Of glory in high sounding rann,
than the comrades of ÓGlaigh na hÉireann,
The Soldiers of Cumann na mBan!
O, high beat the hearts of our Mother,
The day she had longed for is nigh,
When the sunlight of joy and of freedom,
Shall glow in the eastern sky;
And none shall be honoured more proudly,
That morning by chieftan and clan,
Than the daughters who served in her danger,
The Soldiers of Cumann na mBan!
They stand for the honour of Ireland,
As their sisters in days that are gone,
And they’ll march with their brothers to freedom,
The soldiers of the Cumann na mBan! "
