《The Sea Around Us》歌词

[00:00:00] The Sea Around Us - Patsy Watchorn

[00:00:04] They say that the lakes

[00:00:05] Of Killarney are fair

[00:00:07] That no stream like

[00:00:09] The Liffey can ever compare

[00:00:11] If it's water you want

[00:00:13] You'll find nothing more rare

[00:00:15] Than the stuff they

[00:00:16] Make down by the ocean

[00:00:19] The sea oh the sea is

[00:00:21] The gradh geal more croide

[00:00:23] Long may it stay between England and me

[00:00:27] It's a sure guarantee

[00:00:28] That some hour we'll be free

[00:00:30] Oh thank God we're surrounded by water

[00:00:34] Tom Moore made his

[00:00:36] Waters meet fame and renown

[00:00:38] A great lover of anything

[00:00:40] Dressed in a crown

[00:00:42] In brandy the bandy old Saxon he'd drown

[00:00:46] But throw never a one in the ocean

[00:00:50] The sea oh the sea is

[00:00:52] The gradh geal more croide

[00:00:54] Long may it stay between England and me

[00:00:57] It's a sure guarantee

[00:00:59] That some hour we'll be free

[00:01:01] Oh thank God we're surrounded by water

[00:01:05] The Scots have their Whisky

[00:01:07] The Welsh have their speech

[00:01:09] And their poets are paid

[00:01:11] About ten pence a week

[00:01:13] Provided no hard words

[00:01:15] On England they speak

[00:01:17] Oh Lord what a price for devotion

[00:01:20] The Danes came to Ireland

[00:01:22] With nothing to do

[00:01:24] But dream of the

[00:01:25] Plundered old Irish they slew

[00:01:28] Yeh will in yer Vikings

[00:01:30] Said Brian Boru

[00:01:32] And threw them back into the ocean

[00:01:36] Two foreign old monarchs in battle did join

[00:01:39] Each wanting his head on the back of a coin;

[00:01:43] If the Irish had sense

[00:01:45] They'd drowned both in the Boyne

[00:01:47] And partition thrown into the ocean

[00:01:51] The sea oh the sea is

[00:01:53] The gradh geal more croide

[00:01:55] Long may it stay between England and me

[00:01:59] It's a sure guarantee

[00:02:00] That some hour we'll be free

[00:02:02] Oh thank God we're surrounded by water
