Happy Memorial Day: Let Erin Remember (the Days of Old)
Hi friends!
If you are in the USA, I hope you all have a relaxing Memorial Day. In Brazil, it's not a holiday, so I'm working. But I'm with you in spirit!!!!
For everyone everywhere -- My band Tanaman Dùl has a song to share with you in a Memorial Day mood : Let Erin Remember.

Now SING ALONG! Here are the lyrics (excerpted from the poem by Thomas Moore)
Let Erin remember the days of old
Ere her faithless sons betrayed her
When Malachi wore the collar of gold
That he won from the proud invader
When her kings with standard of green unfurled
Led the Red Branch Knights to danger
Ere the emerald gem of the Western World
Was set in the crown of a stranger
Thus shall memory often in dreams sublime
Catch a glimpse of the days that are over
Thus sighing, look through the waves of time
For the long-faded glories they cover
Please upvote and resteem!
