"As down by the glen one easter morn
To a city fair rode I
There armed lines of marching men
In squadrons passed me by
No pipe did hum, no battle drum
Did sound its loud tattoo
But the Angelous bell where the Liffey swell
Rang out through the foggy dew


Right proudly high in Dublin town
They flung out the flag of war
It was better to die 'neath an irish sky
Than at Sulva or Sud el Bar
And from the plains of Royal Meath
Strong men came and hurrying through
While Britannia's huns with their great big guns
Sailed in through the foggy dew


An back through the glen I rode again
And my heart with grief was sore
For I parted then with valiant whom
I never shall see more
But to and through in my dreams I go
And I kneel and pray for you
For slavery fled oh glorious dead
When you fell in the foggy dew"

en souvenir de Patrick Pearse, James Connolly,...

" We declare the right of the people of Ireland to the ownership or Ireland, and to the unfettered control of irish destinies, to be sovereign and indefeasible. The long usurpation of that right by a foreign people and government has not extinguished the right, nor can it never ne extinguinshed except by the destruction of the irish people. In every generation, the irish people have asserted their right to national freedom and sovereignty. Six times during the past three hundred years, they have asserted it in arms. Standing on that fundamental right and again asserting it in arms in the face of the world, we herby proclaim the irish republic as a sovereign independent state, and we pledge our lives and the lives of our comrades-in-arms to the cause of its freedom, of its welfare and of its exaltation among the nations "

Mille mercis à toi, l'ami ! Depuis l'âge de 13 ans, et l'achat de mon premier Stivell, je fredonnais cet air phonétiquement, sans en connaître ni comprendre les paroles...

Merci à toi pour cette tranche de nostalgie, my fellow companion.
85 ans, déjà !
