《Fair Ireland》歌词

[00:00:00] Fair Ireland - Peter, Paul & Mary (彼得、保罗与玛丽三重唱)

[00:00:00] They build bombs and aim their pistols

[00:00:05] In the shadow of the cross

[00:00:09] And they swear an oath

[00:00:11] Of vengeance to the martyrs they have lost

[00:00:19] But they pray for peace

[00:00:21] On Sundays with a rosary in each hand

[00:00:27] It's long memories and short

[00:00:33] Tempers that have cursed poor Ireland

[00:00:39] It's long memories and short

[00:00:42] Tempers that have cursed poor Ireland

[00:00:55] We have cousins on the old sod

[00:00:59] And we don't forget our kin

[00:01:03] From Boston we send more guns

[00:01:08] And we tell them they can win

[00:01:12] Then we turn back to our green

[00:01:15] Beer and to macnamara's band

[00:01:22] It's true friends with false

[00:01:24] Perceptions that have cursed poor Ireland

[00:01:30] True friends with false perceptions

[00:01:34] That have cursed poor Ireland

[00:01:42] They weave tales of wit

[00:01:44] And magic and their songs are strong and free

[00:01:51] But they fail to hear each other

[00:01:54] Prisoners of history

[00:02:03] Orange flags wave for the

[00:02:05] British to greet the army's clicking heel

[00:02:11] And irish curse their irish

[00:02:13] Brother for the altar where they kneel

[00:02:19] And now provoked to greater

[00:02:22] Anger by the distant royal hand

[00:02:29] It's old hatreds and young

[00:02:32] Victims that have cursed poor Ireland

[00:02:38] Old hatreds and young victims

[00:02:41] That have cursed poor Ireland

[00:02:48] So we're left with retribution

[00:02:52] It's the cycle of the damned

[00:02:58] And the hope becomes more

[00:03:00] Distant as the flames of hate are fanned

[00:03:08] Who will listen to the children

[00:03:12] For they're taught to take their stand

[00:03:18] They say love and true forgiveness

[00:03:23] Can still heal fair Ireland

[00:03:27] They say love and true forgiveness

[00:03:31] Can still heal fair Ireland

[00:03:35] Only love

[00:03:39] And real forgiveness

[00:03:44] Can still heal

[00:03:48] Fair Ireland
