Tell me why must a man be of service To his lord and the god seldom high From the grave spring the name of our fathers But there's no glint in a dead man's eye 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 it's son So it's to youth I sing you this story And it's of youth I sing it now Like the train that derails without warning I must leave what I left far behind So goodbye, sweet Roisin Dubh I say goodbye 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 So it's to youth I sing you this story And it's of youth I sing it now Like the train that derails without warning Some must leave what they left far behind So goodbye, sweet Roisin Dubh I say goodbye And the bark fell from tree To the ground that they'll bleed On the anguish that never learned to shout With the clash of the drum We'll surrender the gun and on this sadness we shall no longer speak Until time can live on our all forgotten songs That's when I and we will sing again So goodbye to my love, my sweet Roisin Dubh Goodbye now until we meet again Tell me why must our grief still be greiving For a language that never spoke it's loss But this tongue speak with fire will tear down the barb wire And Rip the belly from the waxy ghost So it's to youth I sing you this story And it's of youth I sing it now Like the train that derails without warning We must leave what we left far behind So it's to youth I sing you this story And it's of youth I sing it now Like the train that derails without warning We must leave what we left far behind So goodbye, sweet Roisin Dubh, I say goodbye So goodbye, sweet Roisin Dubh, I say goodbye Until we meet again Until we meet again Until we meet again, she arrives to beautify But slumber now must rest Oh my Roisin Dubh I'll forever love The youth you once possessed
