Cuimhnigh ar an gCrógacht

[Intro]
[low vocal register]
A mhuintir
A chairde
An gcloiseann sibh mé?
(tabhair freagra dom!)
Cloisim bhur gcroí
Ag bualadh faoin urlár
[Verse 1]
Bhain siad an bhratach
Den chnoc os ár gcionn
Dúirt siad
“bí ciúin
Is dearmad mar dhíol”
Ach féach ar na lámha
Brúite ach fós saor
Gáire faoin smacht
Agus dorn ins an aeir
[Chorus]
Cuimhnigh ar an gcrógacht!
(seas suas, a mhuintir!)
Cuimhnigh ar an nguth sa stoirm!
(Is linne an oíche!)
Nuair a thiteann na ballaí
Cé sheasfaidh fós?
Is sinne
Is sinne
A mhúineann dóibh an scór
[Verse 2]
Thóg siad ár n-am
Lenna rialacha tanaí
Carthanacht mar chuing
Agus eagla mar shlabhraí
Ach fiú sa scuaine
Ag fanacht ar ár bpá
Rinneamar magadh fúthu
Ag canadh sa tsráid
[Pre-Chorus]
Cé mhéad slat a thomhaisfidh
Ár neart sa deireadh?
[whispered vocals] Ní haon ualach
An cuimhne sa chnámh
An gcloiseann tú an talamh
Ag gluaiseacht faoin mbróg?
Sin muid ag éirí
Le gach tread
Le gach trod
[Chorus]
Cuimhnigh ar an gcrógacht!
(seas suas, a mhuintir!)
Cuimhnigh ar an nguth sa stoirm!
(Is linne an oíche!)
Nuair a thiteann na ballaí
Cé sheasfaidh fós?
Is sinne
Is sinne
A mhúineann dóibh an scór
[Bridge]
Glaoimse: Cé leis an tír seo?
Slua: Linne í
Linne í!
Glaoimse: Cé leis an chroí seo?
Slua: Saor é
Saor í!
Glaoimse: Cé thug an focal?
Slua: Muidne
Is ní stadfaidh muid!
[Chorus]
Cuimhnigh ar an gcrógacht!
(seas suas, a mhuintir!)
Cuimhnigh ar an nguth sa stoirm!
(Is linne an oíche!)
Nuair a thiteann na ballaí
Cé sheasfaidh fós?
Is sinne
Is sinne
A mhúineann dóibh an scór

folk, Rowdy live pub session with stomping bodhrán, bright fiddle leads, and raspy alto female vocals. Verses start almost spoken over droning pipes and picked bouzouki, then explode as the crowd joins each response. Big shout-along chorus, unison gang vocals, claps and heel-stomps driving the rhythm; occasional whistle runs snake between lines. Keep the edges rough, slightly overdriven room mics capturing the chaos and sweat., irish folk, female vocals, clever
