colum sands - the coming of europe كلمات أغنية

[verse 1]
now i’ll sing you a song of a day that is gone and another that’s not far away
for europe is coming and borders are going at least that’s what everyone says
here’s a health to the hands that reach out to share and may they grow stronger each day
may the hands that reach out to grab and exploit weaken and wither away
may the hands that reach out to grab and exploit weaken and wither away

[verse 2]
now it wasn’t the day, nor the day before that when europe gave us a surprise
a big international was due to be played with thе crown of ould england as prize
scotland and holland were into thе final and no tougher teams could be found
and somebody said, in the interests of peace, they should play in a neutral ground
somebody said, in the interests of peace, they should play in a neutral ground

[verse 3]
first rome was suggested but that was contested for reasons that i can’t explain
but it seems every country was awfully shy about hosting the crowd_pulling game
’till a brain_waving diplomat stuck up his hand saying i know a field that is fine
it’s lovely and flat and there’s room for a crowd and it lies on the banks of the boyne
it’s lovely and flat and there’s room for a crowd and it lies on the banks of the boyne

[verse 4]
well the venue decided the date it was set, training was soon underway
as europe prepared for the game of the year in the more or less usual way
flags were brought out and excursions arranged, a charter from france was the plan
as the irish prepared to play host to a game that would change every woman and man
as the irish prepared to play host to a game that would change every woman and man
[verse 5]
when the day of the final at last come along, excitement had risen so much
that over in rome they were praying all day that victory would go to the dutch
now it seems that the stuarts were thin on the ground, spectators were soon out of hand
the irish took sides and the battle it raged ’till it ravaged the half of the land
the irish took sides and the battle it raged ’till it ravaged the half of the land

[verse 6]
the dutch won the cup and both teams disappeared, leaving death and destruction behind
and so much ill feeling that three hundred years could not put it out of our minds
now three hundred years is a long time to learn but i hope we can learn all the same
that most people lose when their country is used for dangerous military games
that most people lose when their country is used for dangerous military games

[verse 7]
and there is my song of a day that is gone and another that’s not far away
for europe is coming and borders are going, at least that’s what everyone says
here’s a health to the hands that reach out to share, and may they grow stronger each day
may the hands that reach out to grab and exploit, weaken and wither away
may the hands that reach out to grab and exploit, weaken and wither away
