paroles de chanson Raise a Glass to St. Patrick - The Irish Rovers

Raise a glass to St. Patrick
Raise a glass with me
We'll celebrate the patron saint
Who sailed the Irish sea
On the hills of Slemish
A slave became a man
His spirit was unbroken by
Chieftain or by clan
The isle of green was in his soul
He feared no druid's curse
And long will we remember him
In scriptures and in verse
Raise a glass to St. Patrick
Raise a glass with me
We'll celebrate the patron saint
Who sailed the Irish sea
He climbed up to the mountain
And he made this land his home
We celebrate his memory now
Wherever we may roam
He left his footprints on the rock
Of Skerry's windy shore
He walked among us long ago
We'll walk for him once more
Raise a glass to St. Patrick
Raise a glass with me
We'll celebrate the patron saint
Who sailed the Irish sea
For him we wear the Shamrock
In peace and harmony
In Belfast, Sidney or New York
Wherever we may be
He's known by all around the world
Both near and far away
For everyone turns Irish now
On Saint Patrick's Day
Raise a glass to St. Patrick
Raise a glass with me
We'll celebrate the patron saint
Who sailed the Irish sea
