The Minstrel Boy 歌詞

The Minstrel Boy - Paul Robeson/Alan Booth/Treorchy Male Voice Choir

The minstrel boy to the war is gone

In the ranks of death you'll find him

His father's sword he hath girded on

 

And his wild harp slung behind him

 

Land of Song cried the warrior bard

 

Tho' all the world betrays thee

 

One sword at least thy rights shall guard

 

One faithful harp shall praise thee

 

The Minstrel fell But the foeman's steel

Could not bring that proud soul under

The harp he lov'd ne'er spoke again

For he tore it's chords asunder

 

And said No chains shall sully thee

Thou soul of love and brav'ry

Thy songs were made for the pure and free

 

They shall never sound in slavery
