《Padraig Pearse》歌词

[00:00:00] Padriac Pearse - The Wolfe Tones

[00:00:08] In Dublin town in nineteen sixteen

[00:00:11] A flame of freedom did arise

[00:00:15] A group of men with determination

[00:00:18] Caught an empire by surprise

[00:00:23] Through the streets our men were marching

[00:00:26] They rallied with their hopes and fears

[00:00:29] And the Enda boys came searching

[00:00:32] For their leader Padraig Pearse

[00:00:37] The poet and the Irish rebel

[00:00:39] A Gaelic scholar and a visionary

[00:00:44] We gave to him no fitting tribute

[00:00:47] When Ireland's at peace only that can be

[00:00:52] When Ireland a nation united and free

[00:00:57] On Easter morn he faced the nation

[00:00:59] From the steps of the G P O

[00:01:04] And read aloud the proclamation

[00:01:07] The seed of nationhood to sow

[00:01:12] But soon the word had spread to London of

[00:01:15] An insurrection there at hand

[00:01:18] And the deeds of Padraic Pearse

[00:01:21] Was set about to free his land

[00:01:25] The poet and the Irish rebel

[00:01:28] A Gaelic scholar and a visionary

[00:01:33] We gave to him no fitting tribute

[00:01:36] When Ireland's at peace only that can be

[00:01:40] When Ireland a nation united and free

[00:01:46] For five long days the battle rages

[00:01:48] For five long nights the battle wore

[00:01:53] We will watch as Dublin City blazes

[00:01:56] And see our men fall through the floor

[00:02:01] No Ireland's proud of her effort for her

[00:02:04] Cause we fought with pride

[00:02:07] But to save more life and to save our city

[00:02:09] We make our peace with McFainis cried

[00:02:14] The poet and the Irish rebel

[00:02:17] A Gaelic scholar and a visionary

[00:02:22] We gave to him no fitting tribute

[00:02:25] When Ireland's at peace only that can be

[00:02:29] When Ireland a nation united and free

[00:02:37] Kilmainham Jail in 1916 they brought young Pearse

[00:02:42] To his death cell and they tried him as

[00:02:47] A traitor to shoot this man who dared to rebel

[00:02:53] He only tried to free his country of

[00:02:56] The shackles of 800 years

[00:02:59] When dawn did break on that May morning

[00:03:02] They shot our Leader Padraic Pearse

[00:03:06] The poet and the Irish rebel

[00:03:09] A Gaelic scholar and a visionary

[00:03:14] We gave to him no fitting tribute

[00:03:17] When Ireland's at peace only that can be

[00:03:22] When Ireland a nation united and free
