《The West’s Awake》歌词

[00:00:00] The West's Awake - Celtic Thunder

[00:00:01] Written by：Traditional/Séamus Brett/David Munro

[00:00:05] When all beside a vigil keep

[00:00:11] The west's asleep the west's asleep

[00:00:16] Alas and well may Erin Weep

[00:00:21] When Connacht lies in slumber deep

[00:00:27] There lake and plain smile fair and free

[00:00:32] 'Mid rocks their guardian chivalry

[00:00:37] Sing oh let man learn liberty

[00:00:42] From crashing wind and lashing sea

[00:00:57] That chainless wave and lovely land

[00:01:02] Freedom and nationhood demand

[00:01:07] Be sure the great god never planned

[00:01:12] For slumbering slaves a home so grand

[00:01:18] And long a brave and haughty race

[00:01:23] Honored and sentinelled the place

[00:01:28] Sing oh not even their sons' disgrace

[00:01:33] Can quite destroy their glory's trace

[00:01:47] For often in O'Connor's van

[00:01:52] To triumph dashed each Connacht clan

[00:01:57] And fleet as deer the Normans ran

[00:02:02] Thro' corrsliabh pass and ardrahan

[00:02:07] And later times saw deeds as brave

[00:02:13] And glory guard's clanricarde's grave

[00:02:18] Sing oh they died their land to save

[00:02:25] At augh rim's slopes and Shannon's wave

[00:02:39] And if when all a vigil keep

[00:02:44] The west's asleep the west's asleep

[00:02:50] Alas and well may Erin Weep

[00:02:55] That Connacht lies in slumber deep

[00:03:01] But hark a voice like thunder spake

[00:03:06] The wests awake the wests awake

[00:03:12] Sing oh hurrah let England quake

[00:03:17] We'll watch till death for Erin's sake
