作曲 : SuidAkrA, Verwimp | |
Awake, proud Cuchulainn | |
From thy deep dark slumber | |
Hear the sounds of war-horns | |
And of swords that are shattering | |
Awake, proud Cuchulainn | |
Hasten thee to the battle | |
Hear Aoife's war-cries echoing | |
And the swords that she's shattering | |
Wielding mighty Dacian steel | |
She stands victorious on the battlefield | |
No hero, nor Scáthach herself | |
Could ever hope to make her yield | |
For on this day, so many years ago | |
It happened that her prince was slain | |
Driving his chariot and swinging his sword | |
Now she seeks vengeance in his name | |
Slay, proud Cuchulainn | |
Make her warriors bleed | |
Tides of war are turning | |
Three heroes at your feet | |
Now Aoife herself is charging | |
And your sword will soon be shattering | |
Three mighty blows the princess dealt | |
And with the fourth, the warrior fell | |
His weapon, broken off at the hilt | |
Cuchulainn now would soon be killed | |
Yet, right before the final strike | |
Aoife heard Scáthach's distant cry | |
"Ah, look, Aoife's two horses and her chariot | |
They have fallen down the glen and have all perished" | |
As she paused to glance around | |
Cuchulainn sprang up, threw her to the ground | |
"Life for life," Aoife suddenly cried | |
"Three demands to me," the hero replied | |
"Give in to Scáthach | |
Nor ever defy her again | |
On this island, you'll always remain | |
Bear me a son | |
Conlaoch be his name!" | |
To all this, Aoife agreed | |
For this brave man who had made her yield | |
Reminded her of her long lost love | |
And finally she found peace |
