They are in Gaelic

TÁ TÚ AG TEACHT ANOIS GO DOIRE SAOR

Ní Saoirse go Saoirse na mBan

The most famous is probably

‘Tiocfaidh ár lá’

… which means ‘Our Day Will Come’… referring to when we’d finally be free from British rule.

As for the previous answers, ‘Tá tú ag teacht anois go Doire Saor’ means ‘you are now entering free Derry’ as in County Derry in Northern Ireland.

‘Ni aoirse go Saoirse na mBan’ means ‘there is no freedom without the freedom of women’…

Hope this helps!!
