《Admiral William Brown》歌词

[00:00:00] Admiral William Brown - Wolfe Tones

[00:00:10] From a county Mayo town

[00:00:13] Came a man of great renown

[00:00:15] As a sailor and a soldier was none bolder

[00:00:20] He went to America at an early age they say

[00:00:25] As a cabin boy to sail the wide world over

[00:00:31] Then adventure took him south

[00:00:33] To the De La Plata mouth

[00:00:36] San Martin was on the route in Argentina

[00:00:41] So three whaling ships he bought

[00:00:43] And Brazil and Spain he fought

[00:00:46] And freedom then he sought for Argentina

[00:00:51] Now Admiral William Brown

[00:00:53] You're a man of courage shown

[00:00:56] And in battles fought the odds were all against you

[00:01:01] But your Irish heart was strong

[00:01:03] And in memory still lives on

[00:01:06] And in Ireland there are some that don't forget you

[00:01:11] On St Patrick's day it's told you had many victories bold

[00:01:16] You defeated all invaders thugs and bullys

[00:01:21] Then through the Pampas rose

[00:01:24] And you found a happy home

[00:01:27] "Las Islas Malvinas Argentinas"

[00:01:32] He had heard of Irish hands in noble gallant bands

[00:01:37] That helped to free the land called Argentina

[00:01:42] He had heard with great acclaim

[00:01:44] The Patricios name and fame

[00:01:47] When in 1806 the British came for slaughter

[00:01:52] And to this very day in the Argentine they say

[00:01:57] The English ran away form Buenos Aires

[00:02:02] To the islands further down

[00:02:05] And they took them for the crown

[00:02:08] "Las Islas Malvinas Argentinas"

[00:02:15] We remember William Brown

[00:02:17] And his land of great renown

[00:02:20] He invader of the islands from your country

[00:02:25] When in 1833 were by pirates forced to flee

[00:02:30] And in Ireland sure we know the story fully

[00:02:35] And the people that went too

[00:02:38] To the Argentine when new

[00:02:41] To escape the English laws

[00:02:43] And wars and famine

[00:02:46] They had proved a loyal

[00:02:48] Crew just like all the Irish do

[00:02:51] "Las Islas Malvinas Argentinas"

[00:02:56] The old colonial days and cruel English ways

[00:03:01] With her thunder plunder we will teach the natives

[00:03:06] For the Brits are going to war

[00:03:09] Just like Whitelocke didbefore

[00:03:11] With her ships and guns

[00:03:13] And drums and flags and banners

[00:03:17] In the Empire days of old

[00:03:19] When they murdered for gold

[00:03:22] And paraded it around the streets of London

[00:03:27] Oh no human rights were given

[00:03:29] To the natives dead or living

[00:03:32] "Las Islas Malvinas Argentinas"

[00:03:40] In the Argentine he died Father Fahey by his side

[00:03:45] '57 was the year his country mourned him

[00:03:51] A hero of the nation he's remembered with elation

[00:03:56] Throughout the world where freedom still abounds

[00:04:01] And the Southern Cross take note

[00:04:03] Where bold Willie Bullfin wrote

[00:04:06] The Irish still support you Argentina

[00:04:11] With the Empire tumbling down

[00:04:14] Let no Paddies back the crown

[00:04:17] "Las Islas Malvinas Argentinas"

[00:04:21] With the Empire tumbling down

[00:04:24] Let no Paddies back the crown

[00:04:27] "Las Islas Malvinas Argentinas"
