Lyrics and translation Big Tom - Back to Castleblayney
I
said
farewell
to
dear
old
dad
and
kissed
my
mother
goodbye
J'ai
fait
mes
adieux
à
mon
cher
vieux
papa
et
j'ai
embrassé
ma
mère
au
revoir
Then
turned
away
before
did
see
the
tears
form
in
my
eyes
Puis
je
me
suis
retourné
avant
de
voir
les
larmes
se
former
dans
mes
yeux
Along
the
winding
leafy
lane
where
in
childhood
we
would
play
Le
long
de
la
route
sinueuse
et
feuillue
où
nous
jouions
dans
notre
enfance
With
heartache
and
old
memories
I
sadly
made
my
way.
Avec
le
chagrin
et
les
vieux
souvenirs,
j'ai
fait
tristement
mon
chemin.
So
many
folks
have
left
their
homes
through
strife
and
poverty
Tant
de
gens
ont
quitté
leur
maison
à
cause
des
luttes
et
de
la
pauvreté
Yet
somehow
we
could
struggle
by,
just
mother
dad
and
me,
Mais
nous
pouvions
quand
même
nous
débrouiller,
juste
ma
mère,
mon
père
et
moi,
But
things
went
wrong
between
me
and
the
girl
I
called
my
own
Mais
les
choses
ont
mal
tourné
entre
moi
et
la
fille
que
j'appelais
la
mienne
And
I
left
Castleblaney,
my
own
people
and
my
home.
Et
j'ai
quitté
Castleblaney,
ma
famille
et
ma
maison.
I
visualized
the
hedge-rows
on
the
road
I
used
to
go
J'ai
visualisé
les
haies
le
long
de
la
route
que
je
prenais
d'habitude
I
see
the
town
of
Blaney
and
the
Lakes
Of
Lough
Knock
Muckno
Je
vois
la
ville
de
Blaney
et
les
lacs
de
Lough
Knock
Muckno
Around
the
old
Hope
Castle
where
so
often
I
would
roam,
Autour
du
vieux
château
d'Hope
où
j'ai
tant
erré,
I
dream
of
Castleblaney
my
old
people
and
my
home.
Je
rêve
de
Castleblaney,
de
ma
famille
et
de
ma
maison.
The
harbour
lights
are
fading
as
I
leave
this
foreign
shore
Les
lumières
du
port
s'estompent
alors
que
je
quitte
cette
terre
étrangère
And
I
watched
the
dark
horizon
that
I
mean
to
see
no
more
Et
j'ai
regardé
l'horizon
sombre
que
je
ne
veux
plus
jamais
revoir
To
the
land
that
holds
the
legend
of
the
fairy
and
the
gnome,
Vers
le
pays
qui
abrite
la
légende
de
la
fée
et
du
gnome,
Going
back
to
Castleblaney
my
old
people
and
my
home
Je
retourne
à
Castleblaney,
ma
famille
et
ma
maison
Back
to
Castleblaney
my
old
people
and
my
home
Retour
à
Castleblaney,
ma
famille
et
ma
maison
