Does anyone know where I can download/find a file of the anthem with the words being sung?

Now about the words, I have yet another question:
In a version I saw in that site there is the line -
Fé mhóid bheith saor
and the other version is:
Fámhóidh bheith saor
What does the second one mean? It seems to me that the second one is wrong, but I need to verify it.

Fé is the Munster form of the preposition faoi (=under). |

Thanks a lot! But do mind that this mistake is broadly cited as a part of the anthem. |

Loads of mistakes anyway, most people who sing it don't know what they are saying, and dunno how to pronounce it, and so forth :-D |

Which mistake? "Fé" is not a mistake, when the song was originally translated to Irish it was pre standardisation, and by someone with Munster Irish. |

Have I said that "fé" was a mistake? |

Ní dúirt. Ach dúirt "David ME" rud éigin faoi "But do mind that this mistake is broadly cited" Níl me cinnte cad do an tagairt sin. |
