The minstrel boy to the war has gone |
| [00:24.37] |
In the ranks of death you will find him |
| [00:27.81] |
His father's sword he is girded o |
| [00:31.09] |
And his wild harp slung behind him |
| [00:34.90] |
"Land of song", cried the warrior bard“ |
| [00:38.63] |
"Though all the world betrays thee |
| [00:41.58] |
One sword at least thy roads shall guard |
| [00:45.03] |
One faithful heart shall praise thee" |
| [00:55.71] |
The minstrel fell but the foeman's sword |
| [00:58.57] |
Could not bring that proud soul under |
| [01:02.38] |
The harp he loved never spoke again |
| [01:05.63] |
For he tore its cords asunder |
| [01:09.43] |
He said, "No chain shall sully thee |
| [01:12.97] |
No strength shall taint your bravery |
| [01:16.40] |
The songs remain for the young and free |
| [01:19.45] |
They shall never sound in slavery" |
| [01:51.16] |

In the ranks of death you will find him |
| [01:57.96] |
His father's sword he has girded on |
| [02:00.78] |
And his wild harp slung behind him |

He said, "No chain shall sully thee |
| [02:09.13] |
No strength shall taint your bravery |
| [02:12.85] |
The songs remain for the young and free |
