歌词
The night was dark and the fight was over,
夜幕降临，战斗已经结束，
The moon shone down O'Connell Street;
月光洒在奥康奈尔街；
I stood alone where brave men perished;
我独自站在勇士牺牲的地方，
Those men have gone their God to meet.
他们已经逝去，回到了上帝身边。
My only son was shot in Dublin
我的独生子为英勇的祖国而战，
Fighting for his country bold;
在都柏林中弹牺牲；
He fought for Ireland, and Ireland only,
他为且仅为爱尔兰战斗，
The Harp and Shamrock, Green, White and Gold.
保卫竖琴、三叶草和绿白金三色旗。
The first I met was a grey-haired father
我首先遇到了一个白发苍苍的父亲，
Searching for his only son;
他正寻找他的独生子；
I said, "Old man, there's no use searching,
我说：“老人家，没必要再找了，
For up to heaven your son has gone."
因为你的儿子已经上了天堂。”
The old man cried out broken hearted;
心碎的老人泪水夺眶而出，
Bending o'er I heard him say,
我弯下腰去，听见他说：
"I knew my son was too kind hearted,
“我知道我的儿子太过善良，
I knew my son would never yield."
我知道他永远不会屈膝。”
The last I met was a dying rebel;
我最后遇见的是个垂死的反抗者，
Bending low I heard him say,
我低下头去，听见他说：
"God bless my home in dear Cork City,
“上帝保佑我在亲爱的科克城的家，
God bless the cause for which I die."
上帝保佑我为之赴死的事业。”
