The West's Sleep - Nyimbo
Pamene mbali zonse zikhalebe maso,
Amadzulo akugona, West akugona -
O kutalika ndi bwino Erin amalira
Nthaŵi imene Connacht imagona pansi.
Kumeneko ndikumveka kumwetulira mwachilungamo komanso kwaulere,
'Miyala yayimilira yawo yosamalira chivalry.
Imbani, O! lolani munthu aphunzire kumasulidwa
Kuchokera ku mphepo yamkuntho ndi nyanja yakuda.
Malo osasunthika komanso okongola
Ufulu ndi utsogoleri wa dziko;
Onetsetsani kuti Mulungu wamkulu sanakonzekere
Kugonjetsa akapolo nyumba yaikulu kwambiri.
Ndipo atalika mtundu wolimba mtima ndi wodzikweza
Analemekezedwa ndi kutumiza malowo.
Imbani, O! ngakhale kunyada kwa ana awo
Zingathe kuwononga kwambiri ulemerero wawo.
Kwa nthawi zambiri, mu voti ya O'Connor,
Kugonjetsa kunapha banja la Connacht,
Ndipo sitima zapamadzi za Normans zinathamanga
Kupyolera mwa Corlieu's Pass ndi Ardrahan;
Ndipo nthawi zam'tsogolo adawona ntchito ngati wolimba mtima,
Ndipo alonda aulemerero amanda a klanje,
Imbani, O!
iwo anafera dziko lawo kuti apulumutse
Pa mapiri a Aughrim ndi mzere wa Shannon.
Ndipo ngati, penyanibe,
Amadzulo akugona! Akumadzulo akugona!
Tsoka! ndipo mwina Erin amalira
Connacht ili kugona pansi.
Koma, hark! mau ena ngati bingu adayankhula,
Kumadzulo kumadzuka! Kumadzulo kumadzuka!
Imbani, O! kupweteka! lolani England ayanjenjemere,
Tidzayang'ana kufikira imfa chifukwa cha Erin!
Thomas Osborne Davis Mlembi
Ngakhale kuti "West's Sleep" ikuimbidwa ku mlengalenga wakale wotchedwa "The Brink of the White Rocks", ndi imodzi mwa nyimbo zotchuka m'mabuku onse oimba (sing'anga) oimba nyimbo zomwe timadziwa mlembi wa - Thomas Osborne Davis ( wobadwa pa 14th, 1814 ku Mallow, County Cork , adafa pa 16th, 1845 ku Dublin , wofiira kwambiri). Davis anali mlembi wa ku Ireland, agitator, ndi mothamanga kuseri kwa gulu la Young Ireland.

Amayi ndi mwana adachoka ku Cork kupita ku Dublin, kumene Davis adapita kusukulu ndipo Trinity College, omaliza maphunziro a Law and Arts, potsiriza anaitanidwa ku Irish Bar mu 1838.
Ntchito yake yayikulu mu moyo, komabe posakhalitsa, inakhala chikhalidwe chatsopano cha chikhalidwe cha Irish - Davis ankafuna kukhazikitsa dziko ladziko, osati mtundu, chipembedzo (iye mwini anali Chiprotestanti) kapena kalasi, motero anapereka zonse Anthu a ku Ireland ali ndi chifukwa chodziwika komanso chophatikiza. Ananenanso kuti "kukhala Irish" - osati mwazi kapena cholowa chomwe chimapanga munthu wa ku Irish, koma akufuna kukhala mbali ya "dziko la Ireland".
Anthu a Anglo-Norman, Chingerezi, kapena cholowa cha Scottish angakhale Arisitina podziwa kuti ndi Achi Irish. Zonsezi zinayambika mu nyuzipepala yake "The Nation", kumene Davis adasindikiza ma ballads ake okonda dziko, mochedwa anasonkhanitsidwa ndikusindikizidwa mu "Mzimu wa Mtundu". Pamene akufalitsa ngati panalibe mawa, zambiri za ndondomeko za Davis zinathera chifukwa cha imfa yake.
Davis sanali woyamba kusintha, koma anali woyamba kufotokozera Chiyankhulo cha Chi Irish kuti sichidalira mtundu kapena chipembedzo, koma pa chisankho chodziwika bwino cha ndale. Izi zinabweretsanso kugawidwa kuchokera kwa Daniel O'Connell pampikisano pamayunivesites - Davis akufuna mipunivesite kuti aphunzitse ophunzira onse a ku Ireland, O'Connell akulengeza yunivesite yapadera kwa ophunzira Achikatolika, pansi pa ulamuliro wa tchalitchi.
Davis aikidwa m'manda ku Mount Jerome Manda .
West's Sleep - Chiyambi
"West's Sleep" ndi chida chokwera kwambiri cholimbikitsa dziko la Ireland, momwe zigawo zonse ziyenera kulemetsa panthawi yomweyo, chifukwa chimodzimodzi. Amasankha m'dera la Western Province la Connacht , yomwe inali imodzi mwa malo otsiriza a ufulu wa Gaelic, koma adayamba kugona, ndi East (makamaka Belfast ndi Dublin) kutsogolera njira tsopano.
Kuphatikizapo zachinsinsi za Connacht nature Davis akuitana, akugwirizananso ndi zochitika zakale zomwe zikanakhala zodziwikiratu m'mabwalo amitundu, motero samafunanso kufotokozera. Amenewa ndi Mfumu King Rory O'Connor ndi kuchitapo kanthu mu nkhondo za ku Ireland za mkati, zomwe zinachititsa kuti Anglo-Norman alandire patsogolo ndi Strongbow. Nkhondo ya Ardrahan, Norman yomwe inagonjetsedwa mu 1225, imatchulidwa ... monga nkhondo ya Aughrim, yomwe mu 1691 inathetsa Williamite Wars, osati (monga momwe amachitikira) ku Ireland. Kumeneko muli nazo zonse - kupambana ndi kugonjetsa, koma nthawi zonse mphamvu ya anthu a Connacht.
Ndipo zomwe zikufunika mu nthawi zowonongeka, kotero uthengawu upita, ndiko kukonzanso, kukonzanso kwa mphamvu imeneyo, kupanga chisokonezo cha England (Westminster ndi Parliament). Kusintha maganizo awo pa Ireland.
Kumadzulo kwa West kapena Galamukani?
Davis anafalitsa ndipo adatulutsanso ndakatulo yake monga "West's Sleep", komabe masiku ano nthawi zambiri imatchedwa "The West's Awake". Kawirikawiri izi zikhoza kukhala chifukwa cha zolakwa zosavuta, ndikuvomereza kuti kachiwiri (ngakhale kolakwika) ndondomeko ikuwoneka mochititsa chidwi, chiyembekezo, kukwiya.
