I found the lyrics of a French song written in 1978 when the Troubles were at their height. My French est un peu, how you say, rusty? In school Mr Page had us translating from French to Irish and so the first translation below is in Irish. You will have to scroll down further if you cannot read the French or Irish and there is an English translation down there, somewhere!

Terre brulee au vent des landes de pierre
Autour des lacs c'est pour les vivants
Un peu d'enfer le Connemara
Des nuages noirs
qui viennent du nord
Colorent la terre les lacs les rivieres
C'est le decor du Connemara

Au printemps suivant le ciel irlandais
Etait en paix Maureen a plonge nue
Dans le lac du Connemara
Sean Kelly s'est dit je suis catholique
Maureen aussi l'eglise en granit
De Limerick
Maureen a dit "oui"

De Tiperrary
Bally-Connelly
Et de Galway,
Ils sont arrives
Dans le comte
Du Connemara

Y avait les Connor,
Les O'Conolly,
Les Flaherty
Du Ring of Kerry
Et de quoi boire
Trois jours et deux nuits

La-bas, au Connemara
On sait tout le prix du silence
La-bas, au Connemara
On dit que la vie
C'est une folie
Et que la folie
Ca se danse

Terre brulee au vent des landes de pierre
Autour des lacs c'est pour les vivants
Un peu d'enfer le Connemara
Des nuages noirs
qui viennent du nord
Colorent la terre les lacs les rivieres
C'est le decor du Connemara

On y voit encore des hommes d'ailleurs
Venus chercher le repos de l'ame
Et pour le coeur un gout de meilleur
On y croit encore que le jour viendra
Il est tout pres ou les Irlandais feront la paix
Autour de la croix
La-bas au Connemara
On n'accepte pas la paix des Gallois
Ni celle des rois d'Angleterre.

IRISH
(M'aistriuchan)
Garbh an talamh faoin ghaoith a sheid thar reim na gcloch
Ar chladdaigh na locha a mhaireann suid a d’fhan
Is ifreann inti fein i Chonnamara
Scamaill dubh ag turlingt aduaidh
Ag mucadh an talamh, na lochanna is na habhainn faoina scath
Sin brat Chonnamara

Le teacht an Earraigh, faoi speir na nGael,
Bhi chuile rud ciuin nuair a phreab Mairin nocht isteach sa loch
Duirt Sean O Cheallaigh gurbh caitealeach e
Bhi Mairin mar cuid de eaglais an eibhir!

Maireann siad anseo mar a mhair siad in aimsir na nGael
No i laethanta Chromail
Nuair a thit an baisteach is gathanna na greine trom; mar crub laidir na gcapall

Agus chried tu aris sna n-ullpheisteanna granna
A mhair faoin uisce agus a thainig anios trathnona samhraidh
Roimh tonnadh sios aris go deo.

Anseo is e a gheobhaidh tu chuile sort
Ag lorg sos da n-anamacha
Agus blas nios miles da gcroithe istigh

Agus creideann tu aris go dtiocfaidh an la
(ta se ag teacht) nuair a ghearfar siochan idir na nGael
Timpeall an cros ata siar i gConnamara
Ni ghlacfaidis le feasta le conradh na bhFrancaigh
No fiu sin o Rithe na nGall

ENGLISH
(My translation)
The earth is scorched by the wind over the stone moors
The shores of the lakes are for those who still live here
Connemara is a little hell.
Black clouds roll in from the north
and darken the land, the lakes and the rivers
It is the cloak of Connemara

The following Spring, beneath the Irish sky
all was quiet when Maureen
plunged naked into a Connemara lake.
Sean Kelly said he was a Catholic
Maureen was also of that granite church

Here they live like in the times of the Gael
And the times of Cromwell
when the rains and sunbeams of heaven echoed the thud of hooves

And then you believe once again in the monsters
that lived in the lakes and swam to the surface on summer evenings
before they dived back down again, forever.

Here you encounter people of every kind,
Those who seek rest for their souls
Willing that their hearts might taste something better

And once again you believe that the day will come
(It will very soon,) when the Irish will make peace
Around that Cross that stands deep into Connemara
They will not accept the peace of the Gaul
Nor that of the Kings of England.

My guestroom reflects my love for Rajasthan where I spent many years growing up. I am an army brat and we lived all over India.This is my favourite bedspread. I love the bright colours and the peacock motifs. I bought it from a small village in Rajasthan called Chautan.
