I was born in a country where people admire |
[00:19.50] |
Their great sporting heroes and how they aspire |
[00:24.08] |
To stand upon mountains and always be winners |
[00:28.27] |
And never give less than their all |
[00:32.65] |
I once met an old man who told me great stories |
[00:36.62] |
Of legends of old who played hard for the glory |
[00:41.11] |
Of lifting the cup in that moment of triumph |
[00:45.19] |
These memories kept me enthralled |
[00:49.52] |
On the fields, the fields of glory |
[00:57.97] |
On the fields where boys become men |
[01:06.79] |
On the fields, the fields of glory |
[01:15.40] |
May the best team win, win in the end |
[01:24.32] |
Supporting their team with a true sense of place |
[01:28.25] |
Are the handfuls of people with pride on their faces |
[01:32.98] |
They come from the townlands, the parish, the village |
[01:37.16] |
Their banners they proudly unfurl |
[01:41.68] |
An anthem of hope is the song they are singing |
[01:45.80] |
The whistle, it sounds and the game, it begins |
[01:50.18] |
And the roar of the crowd echoes up to the heavens |
[01:54.47] |
It sends out a clarion call |
[01:58.85] |
On the fields, the fields of glory |
[02:07.57] |
On the fields where boys become men |
[02:16.32] |
On the fields, the fields of glory |
[02:24.73] |
May the best team win, win in the end |
[02:33.90] |
I'm dreaming of Ireland in fine summer weather |
[02:37.98] |
A crowd of young lads playing football together |
[02:42.37] |
All hoping that someday the call they will answer |
[02:46.75] |
To play for the place they were born |
[02:50.88] |
On the fields, the fields of glory |
[02:59.26] |
On the fields where boys become men |
[03:07.87] |
On the fields, the fields of glory |
[03:16.69] |
May the best team win, win in the end |
[03:25.61] |
I'm dreaming of Ireland in fine summer weather |
[03:29.99] |
A crowd of young lads playing football together |
[03:34.22] |
The roar of the crowd echoes up to the heavens |
[03:38.66] |
It sends out a clarion call |
