A white horse in the night That appears in the lights Wandering on the roads of Clifden Like a soul in the darkness Un fantôme de jeunesse Looking for the shade of a maiden My life is on the road Always leaving my friends In mornings of sweet sorrow But it’s more than friends That tomorrow I leave It’s my heart that I leave C’est mon coeur que je laisse It’s my heart that I leave In the heart of Connemara I thought I could be free Like a bird on the tree But I tied bonds around me Bonds of love are delight When you’re close to the light They’re so hard away from your star Les départs c’est ma vie Toujours je laisse mes amis Dans des aubes de doux chagrin C’est plus que des amis Que je quitterai demain C’est mon coeur que je laisse It’s my heart that I leave C’est mon coeur que je laisse Dans le cœur du Connemara Raindrops fall the glass But this shadow will pass Tears and smiles beneath a rainbow Et c’est comme un visage Surgi du fond des âges Retrouvé pour un amour très beau My life is on the road Always leaving my friends In mornings of sweet sorrow But it’s more than friends That tomorrow I leave It’s my heart that I leave C’est mon coeur que je laisse It’s my heart that I leave In the heart of Connemara And I feel like a white Horse lost in the night Wandering on the roads of Clifden Like a soul in the darkness Un fantôme de jeunesse Looking for the shade of a maiden
