Tir Na Nog歌詞

[00:03.774]Across the dewy morning hills of Eireann
[00:14.754]Rode Niamh Chinn Oir on a snow-white steed
[00:20.256]To Oisin poet of the Fianna
[00:28.004]For she fain would this mortal wed
[00:36.011]Ride with me to the fairy land of Tir Na Nog
[00:43.260]For I have long loved you said she
[00:48.507]And Oisin taken with her beauty
[00:56.506]He bade farewell to his company
[01:04.002]They rode through stormy regions far beyond the sea
[01:15.262]To a land where time had ne'er its harvest reaped
[01:21.754]And for an age there Oisin lived contented
[01:28.756]Till longing for his comrades made him weep
[01:37.014]I cannot help but read these sad dreams in your eyes
[01:47.504]So you may return to your country
[01:54.504]And take my blessing with this one command
[02:02.010]Do not dismount from you fairy steed
[02:09.263]But when at last he reached that misty island
[02:52.513]So strange a sight did meet his puzzled frown
[02:59.757]For Oisin rode as a giant among the people
[03:07.264]And nowhere were the Fianna to be found
[03:14.763]He learned from a gathering of workers
[03:22.021]Together straining with a heavy weights
[03:28.756]That centuries before his friends had perished
[03:35.769]Which painful tidings filled him with despair
[03:42.769]As payment for the news that we have told you
[03:50.757]Pray help us with this heavy stone to move
[03:57.506]For if your strength should match your mighty stature
[04:04.271]Scarce more than a touch enough should prove
[04:11.502]But the saddle tore as Oisin leaned to help them
[04:18.765]And sorely he upon the ground was thrown
[04:25.766]He quickly changed to an aged man
[04:32.770]And ne'er again laid eyes on Tir Na Nog.
