Μια μελαγχολική μπαλάντα τραγούδησαν χιλιάδες Ιρλανδοί στις κερκίδες του Γκντάνσκ στα τελευταία λεπτά του αγώνα της ομάδας τους με την Ισπανία.
Μια μπαλάντα πασίγνωστη στην χώρα τους που μιλάει για έναν πατέρα που έκλεψε λίγο καλαμπόκι για το παιδί του που λιμοκτονούσε μα τον έπιασαν οι Άγγλοι και τον έστειλαν εξορία στην Αυστραλία...
By a lonely prison wall,
I heard a young girl calling
Michael, they are taking you away,
For you stole Trevelyan's corn,
So the young might see the morn.
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay.
Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing, we had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry.
By a lonely prison wall,
I heard a young man calling
Nothing matters, Mary, when you're free
Against the famine and the Crown,
I rebelled, they cut me down.
Now you must raise our child with dignity.
Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing, we had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry.
By a lonely harbor wall,
she watched the last star falling
As that prison ship sailed out against the sky
Sure she'll wait and hope and pray,
for her love in Botany Bay
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry.
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry.
Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing, we had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry.
