作曲 : Cruachan, O'Fathaigh ... | |
They came here when the sun was high. | |
The sea was calm to meet them. | |
From out of the wind above the hills. | |
Come a fleet of godly men. | |
Borne on strong winds from the otherworld. | |
Shrouded by magical mists- | |
The Tuatha De Danann came in their- | |
Great magical mystical ships. | |
Nuada, king of Tuatha De, | |
Turned his eager sharp eyes | |
Towards the land of his ancestral home, | |
The valleys, The sea and the skies. | |
He was a giant among mortal men, | |
A hero among the immortals' | |
Who led his people{warriors strong} | |
Back to the land of their fathers. | |
The Fir Bolg, Who were in Eireann before the Tuatha De Danann. | |
Sent streng their mighty champian to parley with the future king. | |
Breas was sent by Nuada to find out his intent, | |
"I greet you as a brother", said Streng "By Eochai I've been sent". | |
The terms of battle were laid, half of Eireann Breas asked, | |
The Fir Bolg said this can't be paid, the time of goodwill has now passed. | |
Both sides made plans, they prepared their wells of healing, | |
Tribes and clans led by the chieftains and their kings. | |
The sun shone down on helmets, shields and swords, | |
Midsummers day-The two armies walked in haodes- | |
Towards Magh Nai-The Fir Bolg followed their chietains, | |
And swept towards the Tuatha DE like waves crash on the beaches. | |
The clash of sword and shield, The splintering of bone, | |
The Fir Bolg would not yield, Though they heard their people's moans. | |
The naked hillmen warriors, were forced back through the fight, | |
Followed by his bodyguard, The Dagda took their lives' | |
But the ground was piled high with the dead of the Tuatha De | |
All surviving warriors fled to live and fight another day. | |
"We have been defeated but tomorrows another day" | |
"Summon your courage. Prepare yourselves, | |
Tomorrow the Fir Bolg we slay" | |
Four more days of battle came and many fine warriors fell, | |
Mothers lost their fighting sons-The wounded healed in wells. | |
Nuada lost his strong right arm, Now he will lose his throne, | |
The sons of Nuada killed Eochai, But they too were overthrown. | |
Streng led the Fir Bolg to the fort and met with the injured, | |
Nuada, Both men declared a truce and Eireann was fairly divided. |
