|
| [00:08.110] |
If you ever go across the sea to Ireland |
| [00:13.230] |
|
| [00:14.480] |
Then maybe at the closing of your day; |
| [00:19.840] |
|
| [00:21.340] |
You will sit and watch the moonrise over Claddagh |
| [00:27.830] |
|
| [00:29.410] |
And watch the barefoot gossoons at their play |
| [00:35.770] |
|
| [00:37.330] |
Just to hear again the ripple of the trout stream |
| [00:42.710] |
|
| [00:44.080] |
The women in the meadows making hay; |
| [00:49.130] |
|
| [00:50.570] |
And to sit beside a turf fire in the cabin |
| [00:57.050] |
|
| [00:58.490] |
And see the sun go down on Galway Bay |
| [01:06.410] |
|
| [01:12.420] |
For the breezes blowing o'er the seas from Ireland |
| [01:17.730] |
|
| [01:19.160] |
Are perfum'd by the heather as they blow; |
| [01:25.150] |
|
| [01:26.530] |
And the women in the uplands diggin' praties |
| [01:32.700] |
|
| [01:34.390] |
Speak a language that the strangers do not know |
| [01:41.190] |
|
| [01:42.630]For the strangers came and tried to teach their way ] |
|
| [01:48.120] |
|
| [01:49.130] |
They scorn'd us just for being what we are; |
| [01:54.740] |
|
| [01:55.800] |
But they might as well go chasing after moonbeams |
| [02:01.910] |
|
| [02:03.220] |
Or light a penny candle from a star |
| [02:10.200] |
|
| [02:11.580] |
And if there is going to be a life hereafter |
| [02:17.380] |
|
| [02:19.280] |
And they come to there's going to be; |
| [02:26.080] |
|
| [02:27.260] |
I will ask my God to let me make my heaven |
| [02:35.060] |
|
| [02:37.170] |
In that dear land across the Irish sea |
