The West's Awake (唤醒西方) - Celtic Thunder

Written by：Traditional/Séamus Brett/David Munro

When all beside a vigil keep

The west's asleep the west's asleep

Alas and well may Erin Weep

When Connacht lies in slumber deep

There lake and plain smile fair and free

'Mid rocks their guardian chivalry

Sing oh let man learn liberty

From crashing wind and lashing sea

That chainless wave and lovely land

Freedom and nationhood demand

Be sure the great god never planned

For slumbering slaves a home so grand

And long a brave and haughty race

Honored and sentinelled the place

Sing oh not even their sons' disgrace

Can quite destroy their glory's trace

For often in O'Connor's van

To triumph dashed each Connacht clan

And fleet as deer the Normans ran

Thro' corrsliabh pass and ardrahan

And later times saw deeds as brave

And glory guard's clanricarde's grave

Sing oh they died their land to save

At augh rim's slopes and Shannon's wave

And if when all a vigil keep

The west's asleep the west's asleep

Alas and well may Erin Weep

That Connacht lies in slumber deep

But hark a voice like thunder spake

The wests awake the wests awake

Sing oh hurrah let England quake

We'll watch till death for Erin's sake
