The West's pw tsaug zog - Lyrics
Thaum txhua tus sab vigil cia,
Sab hnub poob pw tsaug zog, sab hnub poob pw tsaug zog -
Huag ntev thiab zoo yuav Erin weep
Thaum Connacht dag hauv slumber tob.
Muaj pas dej thiab meej dawb luag thiab dawb,
'Mid pob zeb lawv tus saib xyuas chivalry.
Hu nkauj, Au! cia txiv neej kawm kev ywj pheej
Los ntawm tsoo cua thiab lashing hiav txwv.
Hais tias tsis muaj ywj pheej thiab thaj av zoo nkauj
Txoj kev ywj pheej thiab kev xav hauv teb chaws;
Nco ntsoov tias Vajtswv tsis tseemceeb
Rau cov neeg ua haujlwm pw tsaug zog ib lub tsev zoo li ntawd.
Thiab ntev siab tawv thiab hautyty haiv neeg
Honored thiab sentinelled qhov chaw.
Hu nkauj, Au! tsis txawm lawv cov tub 'disgrace
Yuav kuj ua kom lawv lub yeeb koob lub cim xeeb.
Ntau zaus, hauv O'Connor's van,
Yuav kom kev kov yeej txhua tus Ntev lus,
Thiab lub nkoj khiav dej cawv li cov Normans khiav
Los ntawm Corlieu's Pass thiab Ardrahan;
Thiab tom qab ntawd tau pom tej haujlwm ua siab loj,
Thiab lub yeeb koob tiv thaiv Clanricard lub ntxa,
Hu nkauj, Au!
lawv tuag lawv lub tebchaws los cawm
Nyob ntawm Aughrim lub qhov chaw siab tshaj thiab Shannon tus nthwv dej.
Thiab yog hais tias, thaum tag nrho ib tug vigil cia,
Sab hnub poob pw tsaug zog! sab hnub poob pw tsaug zog!
Alas! thiab zoo yuav Erin weep
Ntawd Connacht dag hauv slumber tob.
Tab sis, hawv! ib txhia lub suab zoo li xob nroo,
Sab Hnub Poob! sab hnub poob lub zog!
Hu nkauj, Au! hurray! cia li hais lus quake,
Peb yuav saib xyuas kom tuag rau Erin lub hom phiaj!
Thomas Osborne Davis tus sau
Txawm hais tias "The West's Sleeping" yog lub suab hu ua "The Brink of the White Rocks", nws yog ib qho ntawm cov nkauj nrov nyob hauv txhua haiv neeg hu ua folk singer's back catalog uas peb paub tus sau - Thomas Osborne Davis ( yug Lub Kaum Hli 14, 1814 hauv Mallow, County Cork , tuag rau lub Cuaj Hli 16, 1845 hauv Dublin , los ntawm liab plab). Davis yog ib tug kws sau ntawv Irish, agitator, thiab tsav tsheb tom qab Young Ireland zog.
Davis yog tub ntawm tus kws phais hauv Welsh hauv Royal Artillery, uas tau tuag sai tom qab nws tus tub yug, thiab ib tug Irish niam, uas tau thov ib qhov kev tuaj ntawm Gaelic nobles. Niam thiab tus tub tau tsiv los ntawm Cork rau Dublin, qhov twg Davis tau mus kawm ntawv thiab tom qab ntawd Trinity College, kawm tiav hauv kev cai lij choj thiab Askiv, thaum kawg raug hu mus rau Irish Bar hauv 1838.
Nws txoj hauj lwm tseem ceeb hauv lub neej, txawm li cas los, tsis ntev los ua qhov kev tsim ntawm ib haiv neeg ntawm Irish kev xav - Davis xav xav pib lub teb chaws, tsis yog haiv neeg, kev ntseeg (nws tus kheej yog Protestant) los yog chav kawm, Irishmen ib qho thiab ua rau ua rau. Nws kuj tau hloov dua tshiab "ua Irish" - tsis yog ntshav los yog cuab yeej cuab tam ua ib tus neeg Irish, tab sis qhov yuav yog ib feem ntawm "lub tebchaws Irish".
Cov neeg ntawm Anglo-Norman, Lus Askiv, los yog Scottish cuab yeej cuab tam yuav yog li Irish los ntawm kev ua ntawv thov kom tau Irish. Tag nrho cov no tau tawm tsam nyob rau hauv nws cov ntawv xov xwm "Lub Nation", qhov twg Davis tau luam tawm nws cov lus cog tseg teb chaws, lig sau thiab rov qab ua dua tshiab hauv "Ntsuj Plig ntawm lub Tebchaws". Thaum lub sijhawm luam tawm zoo li tsis muaj tag kis, feem ntau ntawm Davis cov ntawv npaj sau tsis muaj dab tsi vim nws txoj kev tuag ntxov.
Davis tsis yog thawj tus thawj coj, tab sis nws yog thawj zaug uas yuav hloov lub Irish yog leej twg tsis yog los ntawm haiv neeg los yog kev ntseeg, tab sis nyob rau hauv txoj kev txiav txim siab ntawm kev ncaj ncees. Qhov no kuj tau muab faib los ntawm Daniel O'Connell thaum sib cav txog cov tsev kawm ntawv - Davis uas xav tebchaws los qhia ntawv rau cov tub ntxhais kawm ntawv Irish, O'Connell txhawb nqa ib lub tsev kawm ntawv rau Catholic cov tub ntxhais kawm, hauv kev tswj hwm lub koom txoos.
Davis yog faus hauv Dublin lub pob zeb Jerome Cemetery .
Sab Hnub Poob Tsaug Zog - Lub Tebchaws
"Lub Hnub Nyoog Lijhub" yog ib txoj kev loj hlob ntawm Nostalgia txhawb lub tebchaws United Ireland, uas txhua lub xeev yuav tsum rub lawv lub cev rau tib lub sijhawm, rau tib qhov ua rau. Nws tau hu cov West Western ntawm Connacht , uas yog ib qho ntawm lub xeem muaj zog ntawm Gaelic kev ywj pheej, tab sis muaj txij li poob mus rau hauv ib tug pw tsaug zog, nrog lub East (thiab tshwj xeeb tshaj yog Belfast thiab Dublin) ua txoj kev tam sim no.
Sib nrug los ntawm qhov tsis tshua meej txog Connacht qhov Davis tau thov, nws kuj tau tshuam txog cov xwm txheej keeb kwm uas yuav tsum tau paub zoo hauv cov haiv neeg hauv teb chaws, yog li ntawd tsis muaj kev piav ntxiv. Cov no yog cov Vaj Ntxwv King Rory O'Connor thiab nws txoj kev koom tes nyob rau hauv sab hauv-Irish kev nyuaj siab, uas coj mus rau Anglo-Norman conquest spearheaded los ntawm Strongbow. Kev sib ntaus sib tua ntawm Ardrahan, Norman swb nyob rau hauv 1225, yog hais txog ... zoo li kev sib ntaus sib tua ntawm Aughrim, uas nyob rau hauv 1691 thaum xaus Williamite Wars, tsis (raws li nws tau txais feem ntau) hauv Ireland txoj kev nyiam. Muaj koj muaj nws tag nrho - kovyeej thiab yeej, tab sis nco ntsoov lub zog ntawm cov txiv neej Connacht.
Thiab dab tsi yog xav tau nyob rau hauv revolutionary lub sij hawm, yog li cov lus mus, yog ib tug rov qab, ib reawakening ntawm hais tias kev ua siab loj, kom England (lub Westminster Parliament thiab lus Askiv crown) quake. Rov xyuas lawv txoj haujlwm ntawm Ireland.
