Lyrics and translation Tommy Makem - Minstrel Boy (Let Erin Remember)
The
minstrel
boy
to
the
war
is
gone
Le
ménestrel
est
parti
à
la
guerre
In
the
ranks
of
death
you'll
find
him
Tu
le
trouveras
dans
les
rangs
de
la
mort
His
father's
sword
he
hath
girded
on
Il
a
ceint
l'épée
de
son
père
And
his
wild
harp
slung
behind
him
Et
sa
harpe
sauvage
est
accrochée
derrière
lui
"Land
of
Song!"
cried
the
warrior
bard
"Terre
de
chants
!"
s'écria
le
barde
guerrier
(Should)
"Tho'
all
the
world
betrays
thee
(Même)
"Si
le
monde
entier
te
trahit
One
sword,
at
least,
thy
rights
shall
guard
Au
moins
une
épée
défendra
tes
droits
One
faithful
harp
shall
praise
thee!"
Une
harpe
fidèle
te
louera
!"
The
Minstrel
fell!
But
the
foreman's
steel
Le
ménestrel
est
tombé
! Mais
l'acier
du
bourreau
Could
not
bring
that
proud
soul
under
Ne
put
abattre
ce
cœur
fier
The
harp
he
lov'd
ne'er
spoke
again
La
harpe
qu'il
aimait
ne
parla
plus
jamais
For
he
tore
its
chords
asunder
Car
il
en
brisa
les
cordes
And
said
"No
chains
shall
sully
thee
Et
dit
"Aucune
chaîne
ne
te
souillera
Thou
soul
of
love
and
brav'ry!
Toi,
âme
d'amour
et
de
bravoure !
Thy
songs
were
made
for
the
pure
and
free
Tes
chants
étaient
faits
pour
les
purs
et
les
libres
They
shall
never
sound
in
slavery!
Ils
ne
résonneront
jamais
en
esclavage !
