《The West Awake》歌词

[00:00:00] The West Awake - The Wolfe Tones

[00:00:17] When all besides a vigil keep

[00:00:24] The West's asleep the West's asleep

[00:00:31] Alas and well may Erin weep

[00:00:38] When Connacht lies in slumber deep

[00:00:46] There lakes and plains smile fair and free

[00:00:52] 'Mid rocks their guardian chivalry

[00:01:00] Sing Oh let man learn liberty

[00:01:07] From crashing wind and lashing sea

[00:01:17] That chainless wave and lovely land

[00:01:24] Freedom and nationhood demand

[00:01:31] Be sure the great God never planned

[00:01:38] For slumbering slaves a home so grand

[00:01:46] And long a brave and haughty race

[00:01:53] Honoured and sentinelled the place

[00:02:00] Sing Oh not even their sons' disgrace

[00:02:07] Quite destroy their glory's trace

[00:02:17] For often in O'Connor's van

[00:02:24] To triumph dashed each Connacht clan

[00:02:31] And fleet as deer the Normans ran

[00:02:38] Thro' Corrsliabh Pass and Ardrahan

[00:02:45] And later times saw deeds as brave

[00:02:52] And glory guards Clanricarde's grave

[00:03:00] Sing Oh they died their land to save

[00:03:07] At Aughrim's slopes and Shannon's wave

[00:03:18] And if when all a vigil keep

[00:03:24] The West's asleep the West's asleep

[00:03:31] Alas and well may Erin weep

[00:03:38] That Connacht lies in slumber deep

[00:03:45] But hark a voice like thunder spake

[00:03:52] The West's awake the West's awake

[00:03:59] Sing Oh hurrah let England quake

[00:04:07] We'll watch till death for Erin's sake
