Этническая музыка - Ирландские дороги, ирландские законы
текст песни

Once upon a time there was Irish ways and Irish laws
Villages of Irish blood waking to the morning
Waking to the morning

Then the Vikings came around, turned us up and turned us down
Started building boats and towns, they tried to change our living
They tried to change our living

Cromwell and the soldiers came, started centuries of shame
But they could not make us turn, we are a river flowing
We're a river flowing

Again, again the soldiers came, burnt our houses, stole our grain
Shot the farmers in their fields working for a living
They were working for a living

Eight hundred years we have been down, the secret of the water sound
Has kept the spirit of a man above the pain descending
Above the pain descending

Today the struggle carries on, I wonder will I live so long
To see the gates being opened up to a people and their freedom
A people and their freedom

Repeat 1
