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

Chorus gemeinsam

By a lonely harbour wall, she watched the last star falling, as the prison ship sailed out against the sky

For she’d live in hope and pray for her love in Botany Bay, It’s so lonely round the fields of Athenry
