Before Ireland can go free Lyrics by Tri Yann

An Naoned

1972

Au début de la bataille
Plus d'un homme, d'une femme ou d'un enfant
Avaient quitté travail, mari et jeux
Un enfant foudroyé sur le pas de la porte
Un vieillard les bras en croix sur la chaussée
Un jeune homme près d'un réverbère
Qu'il a agrippé quand la balle l'a touché
Il a glissé, toujours cramponné et il est mort
Son visage curieusement blanc
Regardant le ciel
Comme s'il demandait pourquoi
Son bras raidi enlaçant toujours le réverbère
Une jeune femme en vêtements d'été
Peut-être rentrant en hâte à la maison
En entendant la fusillade
Mais pas assez vite
Sur son corsage blanc brillant
Une tâche pourpre de mort
S'étendant en plein milieu du dos
Vous n'aviez signé aucune proclamation
Forcé aucune porte
Pressé aucune gâchette
Oh je sais cela
Mais l'Irlande, l'Irlande avait besoin de vous tout de même
Et d'autres mourront encore
Avant que l'Irlande ne soit libre
