歌词
When boyhood's fire was in my blood
当童年的火焰在我的血液里燃烧
I read of ancient freemen,
我读到过古代自由人,
For Greece and Rome who bravely stood,
像勇敢的希腊和罗马,
Three hundred men and three men;
三百人, 三个人;
And then I prayed I yet might see
然后我祈祷我能够看到
Our fetters rent in twain,
我们的脚镣裂成两半,
And Ireland, long a province, be
而爱尔兰, 过去的一个地域
A Nation once again!
再次成为了一个国家!
A Nation once again,
再次成为了一个国家,
A Nation once again,
再次成为了一个国家,
And Ireland, long a province, be
而爱尔兰, 过去的一个地域
A Nation once again!
再次成为了一个国家!
And from that time, through wildest woe,
从那时起, 经历了极大的痛苦,
That hope has shone a far light,
而希望已经照亮了远方,
Nor could love's brightest summer glow
比那最灿烂的夏日更绚烂,
Outshine that solemn starlight;
比那庄严的星光更耀眼;
It seemed to watch above my head
它似乎就在我头顶,
In forum, field and fane,
在市井，田间和神庙,
Its angel voice sang round my bed,
它天使般的声音在我的床边歌唱,
A Nation once again!

A Nation once again,
再次成为了一个国家,
And Ireland, long a province, be

A Nation once again!

So, as I grew from boy to man,
所以, 当我成长为一个男人,
I bent me to that bidding
我听从了那份感召
My spirit of each selfish plan
将我灵魂的每一丝自私
And cruel passion ridding;
和残忍的激情驱逐
For, thus I hoped some day to aid,
希望有朝一日能有所贡献
Oh, can such hope be vain?
哦, 这样的希望会落空吗?
When my dear country shall be made
当我亲爱的祖国被建立
A Nation once again!
再次成为了一个国家!
A Nation once again,
再次成为了一个国家,
A Nation once again,
再次成为了一个国家,
And Ireland, long a province, be
而爱尔兰, 过去的一个地域
A Nation once again!
再次成为了一个国家!
