Prince Among Men Lyrics – Andy Irvine
Singer: Andy Irvine
Title: Prince Among Men
His dad was a miner and his granddad was too
There was never much question about what he might do
By the age of thirteen he had laid down his pen
And become a coal-miner and a prince among men
My goal as a young lad from a bright early age
Was to follow my hero down in that cage
Fairy lights and Pit Ponies were the stuff of my dreams
Never thinking how hard my dad worked at the seam
Only a miner killed under the ground
Only a miner and one more is found
Killed by accident no one can tell
Your mining’s all over, poor minеr, farewell
Dad worked likе a Trojan his money to save
I’m afraid that he worked himself into his grave
And my schooling was paid at the cost of his lungs
Dad was an old man at the age of forty-one
I never will forget how his face lit with pride
When I got my diploma, he was there by my side
And I try to remember him as he was then
A rare moment of joy for a prince among men
A gold watch and chain inscribed James Doyle
Never seemed much reward for a life of such toil
But I keep his lamp burning and his old union card
And his bones rest here in this sunlit graveyard
My dad was a miner and a prince among men
Well loved by his wife and his family and friends
And his hardship and toil gave me the one chance I had
And generations of slavery died with my dad

Prince Among Men – Terjemahan / Translation
Ayahnya adalah penambang dan kakeknya juga
Tidak pernah ada banyak pertanyaan tentang apa yang mungkin dia lakukan
Pada usia tiga belas ia telah meletakkan penanya
Dan menjadi penambang batu bara dan pangeran di antara pria
Tujuan saya sebagai anak muda dari usia dini yang cerah
Adalah mengikuti pahlawan saya di kandang itu
Lampu peri dan poni pit adalah barang impian saya
Jangan pernah berpikir betapa sulitnya ayahku bekerja di jahitan
Hanya seorang penambang yang terbunuh di bawah tanah
Hanya penambang dan satu lagi ditemukan
Dibunuh secara tidak sengaja tidak ada yang bisa memberi tahu
Pertambangan Anda di mana-mana, miskin, perpisahan
Ayah bekerja seperti Trojan uangnya untuk menyelamatkan
Saya khawatir dia bekerja di kuburannya
Dan sekolah saya dibayar dengan biaya paru-parunya
Ayah adalah seorang lelaki tua pada usia empat puluh satu
Saya tidak akan pernah melupakan bagaimana wajahnya menyala dengan bangga
Ketika saya mendapatkan diploma saya, dia ada di sana
Dan saya mencoba mengingatnya saat dia saat itu
Momen sukacita yang langka untuk seorang pangeran di antara pria
Arloji emas dan rantai bertuliskan James Doyle
Sepertinya tidak pernah banyak hadiah untuk kehidupan kerja keras seperti itu
Tapi saya menjaga lampunya terbakar dan kartu union lamanya
Dan tulangnya beristirahat di sini di kuburan Sunlit ini
Ayah saya adalah penambang dan pangeran di antara pria
Sangat dicintai oleh istri dan keluarga dan teman-temannya
Dan kesulitannya dan kerja keras memberi saya kesempatan yang saya miliki
Dan generasi perbudakan meninggal dengan ayahku
