Fair Ireland - Peter, Paul & Mary (彼得、保罗与玛丽三重唱)[00:00:00]

They build bombs and aim their pistols[00:00:00]

In the shadow of the cross[00:00:05]

And they swear an oath[00:00:09]

Of vengeance to the martyrs they have lost[00:00:11]

But they pray for peace[00:00:19]

On Sundays with a rosary in each hand[00:00:21]

It's long memories and short[00:00:27]

Tempers that have cursed poor Ireland[00:00:33]

It's long memories and short[00:00:39]

Tempers that have cursed poor Ireland[00:00:42]

We have cousins on the old sod[00:00:55]

And we don't forget our kin[00:00:59]

From Boston we send more guns[00:01:03]

And we tell them they can win[00:01:08]

Then we turn back to our green[00:01:12]

Beer and to macnamara's band[00:01:15]

It's true friends with false[00:01:22]

Perceptions that have cursed poor Ireland[00:01:24]

True friends with false perceptions[00:01:30]

That have cursed poor Ireland[00:01:34]

They weave tales of wit[00:01:42]

And magic and their songs are strong and free[00:01:44]

But they fail to hear each other[00:01:51]

Prisoners of history[00:01:54]

Orange flags wave for the[00:02:03]

British to greet the army's clicking heel[00:02:05]

And irish curse their irish[00:02:11]

Brother for the altar where they kneel[00:02:13]

And now provoked to greater[00:02:19]

Anger by the distant royal hand[00:02:22]

It's old hatreds and young[00:02:29]

Victims that have cursed poor Ireland[00:02:32]

Old hatreds and young victims[00:02:38]

That have cursed poor Ireland[00:02:41]

So we're left with retribution[00:02:48]

It's the cycle of the damned[00:02:52]

And the hope becomes more[00:02:58]

Distant as the flames of hate are fanned[00:03:00]

Who will listen to the children[00:03:08]

For they're taught to take their stand[00:03:12]

They say love and true forgiveness[00:03:18]

Can still heal fair Ireland[00:03:23]

They say love and true forgiveness[00:03:27]

Can still heal fair Ireland[00:03:31]

Only love[00:03:35]

And real forgiveness[00:03:39]

Can still heal[00:03:44]

Fair Ireland[00:03:48]
