There the voice was male, bardic, authoritative, grown sweet and self-confident on the flattery of princes.

爱尔兰诗歌中全是男性的、吟游诗人的、权威的声音，在王子们的奉承下变得和谐而自信。

A bardic poem that was memorized, recited and performed for thousands of years.

几千年来被背诵、背诵和表演的吟游诗人诗歌。

So after I gave up on going to foreign wars, and the maturity of youth, I turned a bardic poet.

所以在我放弃了去国外打仗， 放弃了青春的成熟之后，我变成了一个吟游诗人。
