Lyrics and translation Hank Locklin - Forty Shades of Green
I
close
my
eyes
and
picture
the
emerald
of
the
sea
Je
ferme
les
yeux
et
j'imagine
l'émeraude
de
la
mer
From
the
fishing
boats
at
Dingle
to
the
shores
of
Dunardee
Des
bateaux
de
pêche
à
Dingle
aux
rives
de
Dunardee
I
miss
the
river
Shannon
and
the
folks
at
Skibbereen
Je
me
souviens
de
la
rivière
Shannon
et
des
gens
de
Skibbereen
The
midlands
and
the
moorlands
with
their
forty
shades
of
green
Des
terres
intérieures
et
des
landes
avec
leurs
quarante
nuances
de
vert
But
most
of
all
I
miss
the
girl
in
Tipperary
town
Mais
par-dessus
tout,
je
pense
à
la
fille
de
Tipperary
And
most
of
all
I
miss
her
arms
and
hair
so
long
and
brown
Et
par-dessus
tout,
je
pense
à
ses
bras
et
à
ses
longs
cheveux
bruns
Again
I
wanna
see
and
do
the
things
we've
done
and
seen
Je
veux
revivre
les
moments
que
nous
avons
vécus
Where
the
breeze
is
sweet
as
Shalimar
and
there's
forty
shades
of
green
Où
la
brise
est
douce
comme
Shalimar
et
où
il
y
a
quarante
nuances
de
vert

I
wish
that
I
could
spend
an
hour
at
Dublin's
churching
surf
J'aimerais
passer
une
heure
sur
la
côte
de
Dublin
I'd
love
to
watch
the
farmers
drain
the
bogs
and
spade
the
turf
J'aimerais
voir
les
fermiers
drainer
les
marécages
et
extraire
la
tourbe
To
see
again
the
thatching
of
the
straw
the
women
glean
Voir
à
nouveau
les
femmes
qui
tissent
la
paille
I'd
walk
from
Cork
to
Larne
to
see
the
forty
shades
of
green
Je
marcherais
de
Cork
à
Larne
pour
voir
les
quarante
nuances
de
vert
But
most
of
all
I
miss
the
girl
in
Tipperary
town
Mais
par-dessus
tout,
je
pense
à
la
fille
de
Tipperary
And
most
of
all
I
miss
her
lips
as
soft
as
eiderdown
Et
par-dessus
tout,
je
pense
à
ses
lèvres
douces
comme
l'édredon
Again
I
want
to
see
and
do
the
things
we've
done

veux
revivre
