The Tri Coloured Ribbon
The Wolfe Tones
I had a true love, if ever a girl had one, I had a true love, a brave lad was he, And one fine Easter Monday, with his gallant comrades, He started away for to set Ireland free.
So all around my hat I wear a tricolour ribbon, All around my hat until death comes to me, And if anybody's asking why I'm wearing that ribbon, It's all for my true love I ne'er more shall see!
He whispered: 'Goodbye love, old Ireland is calling, High over Dublin our Tri-colour flies, In the streets of the city the foeman is falling, And the wee birds are singing 'Old Ireland Arise'.'
So all around my hat I wear a tricolour ribbon, All around my hat until death comes to me, And if anybody's asking why I'm wearing that ribbon, It's all for my true love I ne'er more shall see!
His bandolier around him, his bright bayonet shining, His short service rifle, a beauty to see, 更多更详尽歌词 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔镜歌词网 There was joy in his eyes, though he left me repining, And started away to set Ireland free.
So all around my hat I wear a tricolour ribbon, All around my hat until death comes to me, And if anybody's asking why I'm wearing that ribbon, It's all for my true love I ne'er more shall see!
In prayer and in waiting the dark days passed over, The roar of the guns brought no message to me, I prayed for Old Ireland, I prayed for my true love, That he might be safe and Old Ireland be free.
So all around my hat I wear a tricolour ribbon, All around my hat until death comes to me, And if anybody's asking why I'm wearing that ribbon, It's all for my true love I ne'er more shall see!
The struggle has ended, they brought me the story, The last whispered message he sent unto me: 'I was true to the land, love, I fought for her glory, And gave up my life to set Ireland free!'
