The Celtic Bard Lyr Req: Slan Libh (24) RE: Lyr Req: Slan Libh 17 Jun 01


Ok, here's what I've been able to understand from the CD. However it's hard to catch a fair number of the words. I'm also making a wild stab at the Gaelic so please forgive me because I'm probably spelling it horribly wrong.

SLAN LIBH

Sisters and brothers, come resolve/Who drawed the old and broken field(?)/Who answering a nation's call/Dear Mother Erin, sworn to be free/To you who carry on the fight/My share of dearness(?) hope I give/Before I pass into the night/Slan libh a hardia, slan libh

Your work allows no time for rest/The longest life is brief in(?) span/You're called the bravest, noblest best/That e'er inspired the heart of man/Fight on, fear not for God is just/The third in tombs(?) shall cease to live/And pray for him whose bones are dust/Slan libh a hardia, slan libh

Slan libh a simple Irish braes/All part in bold(?) to meet again/Betwixt comrades, who through nights and days/For her dear sake, strove(?) pike and pain/For her dear sake, remember me/For her dear sake, my faults forgive/Godspeed the fight for liberty/Slan libh a hardia, slan libh

Hopefully that rings a bell for someone. That's the best that I can do.
