LA BALLADE NORD IRLANDAISE

J'ai voulu planter un oranger 
Là où la chanson n'en verra jamais
Là où les arbres n'ont jamais donné
Que des grenades dégoupillées

Jusqu'à Derry, ma bien-aimée
Sur mon bateau, j'ai navigué
J'ai dit aux hommes qui se battaient
Je viens planter un oranger

Buvons un verre, allons pêcher
Pas une guerre ne pourra durer
Lorsque la bière et l'amitié
Et la musique nous ferons chanter

Tuez vos dieux à tout jamais
Sous aucune croix, l'amour ne se plaît
Ce sont les hommes, pas les curés
Qui font pousser les orangers

Je voulais planter un oranger
Là où la chanson n'en verra jamais
Il a fleuri et il a donné
Les fruits sucrés de la liberté

Il a fleuri et il a donné
Les fruits sucrés de la liberté

COUNTRY ROADS

Almost heaven, West Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River Life is old there, older than the trees Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze REFRAIN Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama Take me home, country roads All my memories gather 'round her Miner's lady, stranger to blue water Dark and dusty, painted on the sky Misty taste of moonshine, teardrops in my eye REFRAIN Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama Take me home, country roads   I hear her voice, in the morning hour she calls me The radio reminds me of my home far away And driving down the road, I get a feeling That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday REFRAIN Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama Take me home, country roads Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama Take me home, country roads

FIELDS OF ATHENRY

By a lonely prison wall I heard a young girl calling  Michael, they have taken you away  For you stole Trevelyan's corn  So the young might see the morn Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay REFRAIN: Low lie the fields of Athenry Where once we watched the small free birds fly Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry By a lonely prison wall I heard a young man calling Nothing matters, Mary when you're free Against the famine and the Crown I rebelled, they ran me down Now raise our child with dignity REFRAIN  Low lie the fields of Athenry Where once we watched the small free birds fly Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry   By a lonely harbour wall She watched the last star falling As that prison ship sailed out against the sky Sure she'll wait and hope and pray For her love in Botany Bay It's so lonely 'round the fields of...
