41Words from the Lakes of Connemara – Michel Sardou
Earth scorched in the wind
Stone moors
Around the lakes, it's for the living
A bit of hell, Connemara
Black clouds coming from the north
Color the earth, the lakes, the rivers
This is the setting of Connemara
The following spring the Irish skies were at peace
Maureen dived naked in a Connemara lake
Sean Kelly said 'I'm Catholic', so did Maureen
Limerick granite church, Maureen said yes
From Tipperary, Barry-Connely and Galway
They arrived in Connemara County
There were the Connors, the O'Connollys, the Flahertys of the Ring of Kerry
And enough to drink for three days and two nights
Over there in Connemara
We know the price of silence
Over there in Connemara
They say life is madness
And madness can be danced
Earth scorched in the wind
Stone moors
Around the lakes, it's for the living
A bit of hell, Connemara
Black clouds coming from the north
Color the earth, the lakes, the rivers
This is the setting of Connemara
We still live there in the time of the Gaels and Cromwell
To the rhythm of the rains and the sun
In the footsteps of the horses
We still believe in lake monsters
That we see swimming on certain summer evenings
And dive again for eternity
We still see
Men from elsewhere came to seek
Rest for the soul and for the heart, a taste of better
We still believe in it
That the day will come, it's very close
Where the Irish will make peace around the Cross
Over there in Connemara
We know the full price of war
Over there in Connemara
We do not accept
The peace of the Welsh
Nor that of the kings of England
