[00:00.000]	作曲 : Traditional Song
[00:33.584]	The minstrel boy to the war is gone
[00:37.308]	In the ranks of death you will find him
[00:41.791]	His father's sword he's girded on
[00:45.431]	And his wild harp slung behind him
[00:50.055]	"Land of Song" said the warrior bard
[00:53.881]	"Tho' all the world betrays thee
[00:57.749]	One sword, at least, thy rights shall guard
[01:01.830]	One faithful harp shall praise thee"
[01:38.406]	The minstrel fell but the foeman's chains
[01:41.953]	Could not bring that proud soul under
[01:46.386]	The harp he loved never spoke again
[01:50.073]	For he tore its chords asunder
[01:54.403]	And said, "No chains shall sully thee
[01:58.508]	Thou soul of love and brav'ry
[02:02.554]	Thy songs were made for the proud and free
[02:06.422]	They shall never sound in slavery"
[02:10.710]	The Minstrel Boy shall return again
[02:14.625]	When we hear the news we all will cheer it,
[02:18.965]	The minstrel boy shall return again,
[02:22.887]	Torn perhaps in body, not in spirit.
[02:27.294]	Then may he play on his harp in peace,
[02:31.124]	In a world such as heaven intended,
[02:35.002]	When in all the world the war shall cease,
[02:39.427]	And ev'ry battle must be ended.
