Capo I
R Earth scorched in the wind of stone moors
Around the lakes it's for the living
A little hell in Connemara
br/>Black clouds coming from the north
Color the earth the lakes the rivers
This is the setting of Connemara
1 In the following spring the Irish sky
was at peace Maureen dove naked
Into Lake Connemara
Sean Kelly said to himself I'm Catholic
Maureen also the granite church
From Limerick Maureen said yes
From Tipperrary Bally Connelly and from Galway
They arrived in the county of Connemara
There were the Connors the O'Conollys the Flahertys
From the Ring of Kerry and enough to drink for three days and two nights
There in Connemara they say that life
It's madness and madness is dancing.
2 We still live there in the time of the Gaels
And of Cromwell to the rhythm
Of the rains and the sun
At the pace of the horses
We still believe in it
In the monsters of the lakes that we see swimming
Certain summer evenings
And diving again for eternity
We still see men there from elsewhere
Coming to look for the rest for the soul
And for the heart a taste of something better
We still believe that the day will come
It is very close when the Irish will make peace
br/>Around the cross
Over there in Connemara
We do not accept the peace of the Welsh
Nor that of the kings of England.
