Je m'endors, je m'endors Et j'ai soif et j'ai faim Le soleil est couché Je suis bien loin de la maison Quavez-vous, mes belles blondes? Quavez-vous, mes belles brunes? C'est toutes pour la blonde Et a rien pour la brune Oh les gens du Crowley Sont toujours dans le chemin Sont toujours dans le chemin Oui chercher à mal faire Avec le jug au plombeau Et les ferrailles à la poche Toujours dans le chemin Oui, chercher à mal faire

As I roved out on a bright May morn Calm and clear was the weather I chanced to roam some miles from home Among the beautiful blooming heather And it's heather on the moor Over the heather Over the moor and among the heather I chanced to roam some miles from home Among the beautiful blooming heather And it's heather on the moor As I roved along with my hunting song My heart as light as any feather I met a pretty maid upon the way She was tripping the dew along the heather And it's heather on the moor Over the heather Over the moor and along the heather I met a pretty maid upon the way She was tripping the dew along the heather And it's heather on the moor "Where are you going, my pretty fair maid, Come hill or dale, come tell me whether?" Quite modestly she answered me "To the feeding of my lambs together" And it's heather on the moor Over the heather Over the moor and along the heather Quite modestly she answered me "To the feeding of my lambs together" And it's heather on the moor We both shook hands and down we sat It being the finest day in summer We sat till the red setting beams of the sun Came sparkling down among the heather And it's heather on the moor Over the heather Over the moor and along the heather We sat till the red setting beams of the sun Came sparkling down among the heather And it's heather on the moor "Now," she says, "I must away My lambs and sheep have strayed each other, But I am loathe to part from you As those fond lambs are to part their mother," And it's heather on the moor Over the heather Over the moor and along the heather But I am loathe to part from you As those fond lambs are to part their mother," And it's heather on the moor Up she rose and away she goes Her face and name I know not either But if I was king I'd make her queen The lass I met among the heather And it's heather on the moor Over the heather Over the moor and along the heather If I was king I'd make her queen The lass I met among the heather And it's heather on the moor

If you'll be the lass of Aughrim As I'll take you to be Tell me that first token That passed between you and me Oh, don't you remember That night on yon lean hill When we both met together I am sorry now to tell Oh, the rain falls on my yellow locks And the dew soaks my skin My babe lies cold in my arms Lord Gregory, let me in Oh, the rain falls on my heavy locks And the dew soaks my skin My babe lies cold in my arms But none will let me in

With twilight descending and slumber you find And I am certain that I have safely passed from your mind Only then can I serenade you unconfined In the secrecy of my heart Do you shine bright as always as in sagas of old? Do you still sing with four voices or breathe hot and cold? Do you nurture my memory or yet still behold Another creature of some land apart? And how can a blind man steer by the stars? And how can a poor man find power? How can a dead man rise from his grave? And how can I have hope in this hour? I desired no promise, only your company And I flourished in your presence most wholeheartedly Though I still would rejoin you, I face reality It entraps me from dusk until dawn Now we all take our chances on what we regain But only fools would rush in where an angel's been slain And the sound of four voices, they still call my name Even though your presence is gone And how can a blind man steer by the stars? And how can a poor man find power? How can a dead man rise from his grave? And how can I have hope in this hour? Free from all envy, and free from all pride I marveled at your joy as I walked by your side And I wish not to taint you with the aspects I hide Of my past, my thoughts, and my fears When time finally tempers this heart sick and sore And your eyes no longer dance in my dreams anymore I will still sing your praises for a time long before I was blinded by so many tears And how can a blind man steer by the stars? And how can a poor man find power? How can a dead man rise from his grave? And how can I have hope in this hour?

Capitaine, capitaine, voyage ton flag Allons chez notre voisin Demander la charité Pour les autres viens nous rejoindre Les autres viens nous rejoindre Pour le gumbo ce soir Le Mardi Gras ça vient de tout partout Tout l'tour autour du moyeu Ça passe un fois par ans Demander le charité Quand même ç'est une patate Une patate ou les gratons Les Mardi Gras sont sur un grand voyage Tout l'tour autour du moyeu Ça passe un fois par ans Demander le charité Quand même ç'est une poule maigre Et trois, quatre cotons de maïs Capitaine, capitaine, voyage ton flag Allons chez notre voisin Demander la charité Pour les autres viens nous rejoindre Les autres viens nous rejoindre Pour le gumbo ce soir
