La Ballade nord-irlandaise [English translation]
La Ballade nord-irlandaise [English translation]
I wanted to plant an orange tree
Where the song won't ever see
Where the trees have never born fruit
Only unpinned grenades
To my beloved Derry
On my boat I sailed
I told the men who were fighting
I planted an orange tree
Let's have a drink, let's go fishing
No war can endure
Around beer and friendship
And the music we will sing
Forget your gods forever
Love does not like it under any cross
It is men not priests
Who grow orange trees
I wanted to plant an orange tree
Where the song won't ever see
It bloomed and bore
The sweet fruits of liberty.
- Artist:Nolwenn Leroy
