《Padraic Pearse》歌词

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

[00:00:07] In Dublin town in nineteen sixteen

[00:00:10] 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

[00:00:25] They rallied with their hopes and fears

[00:00:28] And the Enda boys came searching

[00:00:31] For their leader Padraig Pearse

[00:00:36] The poet and the Irish rebel

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

[00:00:43] We gave to him no fitting tribute

[00:00:46] When Ireland's at peace only that can be

[00:00:51] When Ireland's a nation united and free

[00:00:58] On Easter morn' he faced the nation

[00:01:00] From the steps of the G P O

[00:01:05] And read aloud the proclamation

[00:01:08] The seed of nationhood to sow

[00:01:13] But soon the word had spread to

[00:01:15] London of an insurrection there at hand

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

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

[00:01:26] The poet and the Irish rebel

[00:01:29] 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

[00:01:41] When Ireland's a nation united and free

[00:01:48] For five long days the battle rages

[00:01:50] For five long nights the battle wore

[00:01:55] He watch as Dublin City blazes

[00:01:58] And see his men fall through the floor

[00:02:03] No Ireland's proud of his effort for her

[00:02:06] 'Cause we fought with pride

[00:02:08] To save more life to save our city

[00:02:11] We make our peace McFainis cried

[00:02:16] The poet and the Irish rebel

[00:02:19] A Gaelic scholar and a visionary

[00:02:23] We gave to him no fitting tribute

[00:02:26] When Ireland's at peace only that can be

[00:02:31] When Ireland's a nation united and free

[00:02:39] Kilmainham Jail in 1916

[00:02:42] They brought young Pearse to his death cell

[00:02:46] And they have tried him as a traitor

[00:02:49] To shoot this man who dared to rebel

[00:02:54] He only tried to free his country

[00:02:57] Of the shackles of 800 years

[00:03:00] When dawn did break on that May morning

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

[00:03:08] The poet and the Irish rebel

[00:03:10] A Gaelic scholar and a visionary

[00:03:15] We gave to him no fitting tribute

[00:03:18] When Ireland's at peace only that can be

[00:03:23] When Ireland's a nation united and free
