| The Last General Absolution of the Munsters at Rue du Bois Fortunino Matania |
Ní gá dhóibh eagla a bheith orthu
Fúisiléirí na Mumhan
dar fia, ní gá!
Nach bhfuil Aspalóid Choiteann faighte acu
ón Athair Ó Gliasáin
Beidh siad i gceart . . .
Níl srapnal in ann dochar a dhéanamh don anam
Gás ní raghadh ina ghaobhar
Ghabhadh piléar tríd in aon splanc ghlan amháin!
Nothing to Fear
They've nothing to fear now
the Munster Fusiliers
By God, no!
Hasn't Fr. Gleeson given them all
a General Absolution
They'll be grand . . .
Shrapnel cannot injure the soul
Gas can't come near it
Sure a bullet would fly clean through it!
