[01:30.000]The minstrel boy to the war is gone；
[01:40.000]In the ranks of death you'll find him；
[01:47.000]His father's sword he has girded on；
[01:56.000]And his wild harp slung behind him；
[02:04.000]"land of song!" said the warrior bard；
[02:13.998]"though all the world betrays thee"；
[02:19.998]"One sword at least thy rights shall guard!"；
[02:27.998]"One faithful harp shall praise thee!"；
[03:24.998]The minstrel fell!；
[03:30.998]but the foeman's chain；
[03:34.998]Could not bring that proud soul under；
[03:42.998]The harp he loved ne'er spoke again；
[03:50.998]For he tore is chords asunder；
[03:59.998]And said "no chains shall sully thee!"；
[04:07.998]"Thou soul of love and bravery!"；
[04:15.998]"Thy songs were made for the pure and free！"；
[04:23.999]"They shall never sound in slavery！"；
