[Verse 1]
Tell me, why must a man be of service
To his lord and the god seldom high?
From the grave sprang the name of our fathers
But there's no glint in a dead man's eye
[Verse 2]
Tell me, why are our fields filled with hunger
And fruitless the crop, bitter soil?
So I say my farewell to a nation
As the leaf waves goodbye to its sun
[Chorus]
So it's to youth I sing you this story
And it's of youth I sing it now
Like the train that derailed without warning
I must leave what I left far behind
[Bridge]
So goodbye, sweet Róisín Dubh
I say goodbye
[Verse 3]
Tell me, why must our peace be this puzzle
That fractures the land, splinters war
The last nails cite the shame in our coffin
But in the end we must all die alone
Tell me, why must a man be of service
To his lord and the god seldom high?
From the grave sprang the name of our fathers
But there's no glint in a dead man's eye
[Verse 2]
Tell me, why are our fields filled with hunger
And fruitless the crop, bitter soil?
So I say my farewell to a nation
As the leaf waves goodbye to its sun
[Chorus]
So it's to youth I sing you this story
And it's of youth I sing it now
Like the train that derailed without warning
I must leave what I left far behind
[Bridge]
So goodbye, sweet Róisín Dubh
I say goodbye
[Verse 3]
Tell me, why must our peace be this puzzle
That fractures the land, splinters war
The last nails cite the shame in our coffin
But in the end we must all die alone
