Текст песни After Aughrim's Great Disaster (Liam O'Flynn) с переводом

After Aughrim’s great disaster

When our foe in sooth was master

Twas you that first rushed in and swam the Shannon’s boiling flood

And through Slieve Bloom’s dark passes

You led your gallowglasses

Although the hungry Saxon wolves were howling for our blood

And as we crossed Tipp’rary

We raised the clan O’Leary

And drove a creagh before them, as their horsemen onward came

With our spears and swords we gored them

As through flood and light we bored them

Ah, but Sean O’Duibhir an Gleanna, we were worsted in the game

Long, long we kept the hill-side

Our couch hard by the rill-side

The sturdy knotted oaken boughs our curtain overhead

The summer’s blaze we laughed at

The winter snows we scoffed at;

And trusted to our long steel swords to win us daily bread

Till the Dutchman’s troops came round us

In fire and steel they bound us

They blazed the woods and mountains, till the very clouds were flame

Yet our sharpen’d swords cut through them

To their very heart we hewed them

Ah, but Sean O’Duibhir an Gleanna, we were worsted in the game

Here’s a health to your and my King

The sovereign of our liking

And to Sarsfield, underneath whose flag we’ll cast once more a chance

For the morning’s dawn will wing us

Across the seas and bring us

To take our stand and wield a brand among the sons of France

And though we part in sorrow

Still Sean O’Duibhir an Gleanna

Our prayer is 'God save Ireland and pour blessings on her name.'

May her sons be true when needed

May they never fail as we did

For Sean O’Duibhir an Gleanna, we were worsted in the game
