《A Nation Once Again》歌词

[00:00:00] A Nation Once Again - Patsy Watchorn

[00:00:08] When boyhood's fire was in my blood

[00:00:12] I read of ancient freemen

[00:00:16] Of Greece of Rome

[00:00:18] Who bravely stood

[00:00:20] Three hundred men and three men;

[00:00:24] And then I prayed I yet might see

[00:00:28] Our fetters rent in twain

[00:00:31] And Ireland long a province be

[00:00:36] A Nation once again

[00:00:40] A nation once again

[00:00:43] A nation once again

[00:00:47] And Ireland

[00:00:49] Long a province be

[00:00:52] A Nation once again

[00:00:56] And from that time

[00:00:58] Through wildest woe

[00:01:00] That hope has shown a far light

[00:01:04] Nor could love's

[00:01:05] Brightest summer glow

[00:01:08] Outshine that solemn starlight;

[00:01:12] It seemed to watch above my head

[00:01:16] In forum field and fame

[00:01:19] An angel voice sang round my bed

[00:01:24] A Nation once again

[00:01:27] A nation once again

[00:01:31] A nation once again

[00:01:35] And Ireland

[00:01:37] Long a province be

[00:01:40] A Nation once again

[00:01:44] So as I grew from boy to man

[00:01:48] I will to me that bidding

[00:01:52] My spirit of each selfish plan

[00:01:56] And cruel passion ridding;

[00:02:00] For thus I hoped some day to aid

[00:02:04] Oh can such hope be vain

[00:02:07] When dear my darling shall be made

[00:02:12] A Nation once again

[00:02:15] A nation once again

[00:02:20] A nation once again

[00:02:23] And Ireland

[00:02:25] Long a province be

[00:02:27] A Nation once again

[00:02:31] A nation once again

[00:02:36] A nation once again

[00:02:39] And Ireland

[00:02:41] Long a province be

[00:02:44] A Nation once again
