[Irländska Republikens Sånger Grace]
On the night of November 5th, throughout Britain, bonfires are set alight, effigies are burned, and fireworks are set off. The people do this to commemorate their country's most notorious traitor: Guy FawkesThe truth about Guy Fawkes, the Gunpowder Plot, and why British people everywhere gather round bonfires once a year to burn effigies and watch fireworks. |
The Bonfire Night |
Remember remember the fifth of November Gunpowder, treason and plot. I see no reason why gunpowder, treason Should ever be forgot. Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes twas his intent To blow up the houses of Parliament, With three score barrels of powder below, Poor old England to overthrow. But by God's providence he was catched, With darkened lantern and slow burning match. Holloa boys, Holloa boys, ring bells ring, Holloa boys, Holloa boys, God saved the King! |

GraceAs we gather in the chapel here in old Kilmainham Jail I think about these past few weeks, oh will they say we've failed From our schooldays they have told us we must yearn for liberty Yet all I want in this dark place is to have you here with me. Oh Grace just hold me in your arms ad let this moment linger They'll take me out at dawn and I will die With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye. Now I know it's hard for you my love to ever understand The love I bear for these brave men, my love for this dear land But when the Padhraic called me to his side down in the GPO I had to leave my own sick bed, to him I had to go Oh Grace just hold me in your arms ad let this moment linger They'll take me out at dawn and I will die With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye. Now as dawn is breaking, my heart is breaking too, On this May morn as I walk out my thoughts well be of you And I'll write some words upon the wall so everyone will know I love so much that I could see his blood upon the rose. Oh Grace just hold me in your arms ad let this moment linger They'll take me out at dawn and I will die With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye. |

100 Visor sjungna av bergselever, Svenska Teknologföreningens förlag, 1919 Rallaren och Skön Cecilia
Tro aldrig att jag knyter något kärleksband med dig,
Den rallaren, den rallaren han reste bort sin kos.
Sju åren voro gångna, sju åren runt omkring,
Cecilia blev döder och lagder uppå bår;
Å hör i flickor alla, som än ogifta gå,
