La ballade irlandaise [un oranger] [English translation]

An orange tree on the irish ground

We'll never see it

A snowy day lilac perfumed

Never will we see it

What can it do?

What can it do?

You're sleeping by my side

Near the river

Where our cottage

Is beating like a heart full of joy

An orange tree on the irish ground

We'll never see it

But in my arms

Someone else than you

Never will we see it

What can it do?

What can it do?

You're sleeping by my side

Near the river

Exhale the heather

And your sleep is mine

An orange tree on the irish ground

We'll never see it

A snowy day lilac perfumed

Never will we see it

What can it do?

What can it do?

You, my child, you are here
