《My Own Dear Galway Bay》歌词

[00:00:00] It's far away I am today

[00:00:05] From scenes I roamed a boy

[00:00:10] And long ago the hour I know

[00:00:15] When I first saw Illinois

[00:00:20] But time not tide not waters wide

[00:00:26] Can wean my heart away

[00:00:31] For ever true it flies to you

[00:00:36] My own dear Galway Bay

[00:00:42] My chosen bride is by my side

[00:00:47] Her brown hair silver-grey

[00:00:52] Her daughter Rose

[00:00:55] As like her grows as April dawn today

[00:01:02] Our only boy his mother's joy

[00:01:08] His father's pride and stay

[00:01:13] With gifts like these I'd live at ease

[00:01:18] Were I near Galway Bay

[00:01:24] Oh grey and bleak by shore and creek

[00:01:30] The rugged rocks abound

[00:01:35] But sweet and green the grass between

[00:01:40] As grows on Irish ground

[00:01:45] When friendship fond all wealth beyond

[00:01:50] And love that lives away

[00:01:55] Bless each poor home beside your foam

[00:02:01] My own dear Galway Bay

[00:02:08] A prouder man I'd walk the land

[00:02:13] In health and peace of mind

[00:02:17] If I might toil and strive and moil

[00:02:22] Nor cast one thought behind

[00:02:27] But what would be the world to me

[00:02:32] When it's rank and rich array

[00:02:37] If memory I lost of thee

[00:02:43] My own dear Galway Bay

[00:02:49] Had I youth's blood and hopeful mood

[00:02:54] And heart of fire once more

[00:02:59] For all the gold the earth might hold

[00:03:04] I'd never leave your shore

[00:03:09] I'd live content whatever God sent

[00:03:14] With neighbours old and grey

[00:03:20] And lay my bones 'neath churchyard stones

[00:03:25] Beside you Galway Bay

[00:03:31] The blessings of a poor old man

[00:03:36] Be with you night and day

[00:03:42] The blessings of a poor old man

[00:03:47] Whose heart will soon be clay

[00:03:53] 'Tis all the heaven I ask of God

[00:03:58] Upon my dying day

[00:04:03] My soul to soar forever more

[00:04:09] Above you Galway Bay

[00:04:13] My Own Dear Galway Bay - Donal Lunny
