A Nation Once Again - Wolfe Tones

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Davis, Traditional
[00:31.052]When boyhood's fire was in my blood
[00:35.413]I read of ancient freemen
[00:39.445]For Greece and Rome who bravely stood
[00:43.564]Three hundred men and three men
[00:48.060]And then I prayed I yet might see
[00:51.877]Our fetters rent in twain
[00:56.125]And Ireland, long a province, be
[01:00.381]A Nation once again!
[01:04.629]A Nation once again
[01:08.861]A Nation once again,
[01:13.141]And Ireland, long a province, be
[01:17.457]A Nation once again!
[01:22.189]So, as I grew from boy to man,
[01:26.525]I bent me to that bidding
[01:30.685]My spirit of each selfish plan
[01:34.796]And cruel passion ridding;
[01:39.221]For, thus I hoped some day to aid,
[01:43.157]Oh, can such hope be vain?
[01:47.391]When my dear country shall be made
[01:51.644]A Nation once again!
[01:55.917]A Nation once again
[02:00.264]A Nation once again,
[02:04.623]And Ireland, long a province, be
[02:08.998]A Nation once again!
