Desterrado

I drown in memories of you
From a lost land
Where you gathered to hear
Forbidden songs
You swear you'll soon return to see
Those days of glory
When your people will reclaim
Their own history
And for centuries their voices will be heard
Among lakes and mountains they'll go
The truth of the people of Ireland
Of the people of Ireland
On your path you'll find
Smiles and sadness
On your path you'll see
In the distance your homeland
If that's how fate wanted it
Don't torment yourself over anything
Seek the light to guide you there
And put your faith in your gaze
And for centuries their voices will be heard
Among lakes and mountains they'll go
The truth of the people of Ireland
Of the people of Ireland
Where the invader
Has erased the trace
Of the man who lived
And died in freedom
Close to his home
He defended his poverty
And shouted
For mercy
But the invader
Without scruples killed
Determined to conquer
Another people, another nation
Wanting to rule
Impose their condition
But they will come
Again to Ireland to rule
