The Minstrel Boy 歌词
The Minstrel Boy - Liam Clancy
The minstrel boy to the war is gone
In the ranks of death you'll find him;
His father's sword he has girded on
And his wild harp slung behind him;
"Land of Song " said the warrior bard
"Though 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 chain
Could not bring that proud soul under;
The harp he loved never spoke again
For he tore its chords asunder;
And said "No chains shall sully thee
Thou soul of love and bravery
Thy songs were made for the pure and free
They shall never sound in slavery "
