Here you go Desi WOMEN OF IRELAND (Mná Na hEirainn) by the Wolfe Tones recorded on Shanachie #52027 Women, Women of Ireland your glory's in the shade Your dreams they have gone and decayed The deeds you have done they all went unsung By no Bard or no one For without you there is nothing Except love songs in the wind and all of your struggles and despair And there were castles in the air Chorus: Shout it from every mountain From every mountain on high And the four winds will sigh for Ireland Ireland's your Glory And your monuments built on your sorrow and pain For if ever the seas and the oceans run dry Tears of struggles and and of joy And all of your sadness and pain Will fill the oceans up again #2 Daughters, Daughters of Erin to the* Cuman na mBan Your dream was to see Ireland free thru agarian struggles Were determined to win and from there to begin There you were dressed for rebellion But your beauty could not hide Your sorrow and suffering and despair And there were no castles in the air #3 Women, Women of courage, you suffered in your silence You kept Ireland's spirit alive your were imprisoned Your people enchained but you never gave in In troubled days of old Ireland, you were the brave ones who fought Through oppression and famine and despair And there were castles in the air
