letra de the blackbird of sweet avondale - george hanna & sarah anne o'neill
by the sweet bay of dublin, while carelessly strolling
i sat myself down by a green myrtle shade
reclined on the beach, as the wild waves were rolling
in sorrow condoling, i saw a fair maid
her hopes changed to mourning, that once were so glorious
i stood in amazement to hear her sad wail
her heartstrings burst forth with wild accents uproarious
saying, ‘where is my blackbird of sweet avondale?’
‘in fair counties meath, wexford, cork, and tipperary
the rights of old ireland, my blackbird did sing
but woe to the hour, when with heart light and airy
that heavеd from my arms, to dublin took wing.’
‘the waylaid him in hopes to ensnarе him
while i here in sorrow, his absence bewail
sure, it grieves me to think that the walls of kilmainham
surrounds the dear blackbird of sweet avondale.’
‘oh, erin, my country, awake from your slumber
and bring back my blackbird, so dear unto me
and let everyone know, by the strength of your number
that ireland, a nation, would wish to be free.’
‘the cold prison dungeon, is no habitation
for one to his country was loyal and true
then give him his freedom without hesitation
and remember that he fought hard, for freedom and you.’
‘oh heaven, give ear to my consultation
and strengthen the brave sons of old granuaile
and god grant that my country will soon be a nation
and bring back my blackbird to sweet avondale.’
