Song For Ireland - The Dubliners

作词：Phil Colclough

作曲：Phil Colclough

Walking all the day

near tall towers where falcons build their nests

Silver wings they fly

They know the call for freedom in their breasts

Saw Black Head against the sky

Where twisted rocks they run down to the sea

Living on your western shore

Saw summer sun sets I asked for more

I stood by your Atlantic Sea

And i sang a song for Ireland

Drinking all the day

In old pubs where fiddlers love to play

Saw one touch the bow

He played a reel that seamed so grand and gay

I stood on dingle beach and cast

In wild foam for Atlantic bass

Living on your western shore

Saw summer sunsets I asked for more

I stood by your Atlantic Sea

And sang a song for Ireland

Talking all the day

With true friends who try to make you stay

Telling jokes and news

Singing songs to while the time away

Watched the galway salmon run

Like silver dancing darting in the sun

living on your western shore

Saw summer sunsets I asked for more

I stood by your Atlantic Sea

And i sang a song for Ireland

Dreaming in the night

I saw a land where no-one had to fight

Waking in your dawn

I saw you crying in the morning light

sleeping where the falcons fly

They twist and turn all in your air-blue sky

Living on your western shore

Saw summer sunsets I asked for more

I stood by your Atlantic sea

And I sang a song for Ireland
