Текст песни The Wolfe Tones - The Tri Coloured Ribbon

Текст:

Tri-Coloured Ribbon (Peadar Kearney) I had a true love if ever a girl had one I had a true love a brave lad was he One fine Easter Monday with his gallant comrades He started away for to make Ireland free [R]For all around my hat I wear a tri-coloured ribbon, oh All around my hat until death comes to me And if anybody's asking me why do I wear it It's all for my own true love I never more will see He whispered "Goodbye love, old Ireland is calling High over Dublin our Tri-colour flies In the streets of the city the foe man is falling And wee birds are whistling "Old Ireland arise" [R] In praying and watching the dark hours passed over The roar of the guns brought no message to me I prayed for Old Ireland, I prayed for my lover That he might be safe and Old Ireland be free [R] The struggle was ended, they brought me the story The last whispered message he sent unto me "I was true to my land, love, I fought for her glory And gave up my life for to make Ireland free" [R]. "Трехцветная лента". Песня о девушке, потерявшей любимого в Пасхальном Восстании 1916-го в Дублине.
