letra de james stephens: the county mayo - james stephens

Loading...

now with the coming in of the spring the days will stretch a bit
and after the feast of brigid i shall hoist my flag and go
for since the thought got into my head i can neither stand nor sit
until i find myself in the middle of the county of mayo

in claremorris i would stop a night and sleep with decent men
and then go on to balla just beyond and drink galore
and next to kiltimagh for a visit of about a month, and then
i would only be a couple of miles away from ballymore

i say and swear my heart lifts up like the lifting of a tide
rising up like the rising wind till fog or mist must go
when i remember carra and gallen close bеside
and the gap of the two bushеs, and the wide plains of mayo

to k!lladen then, to the place where everything grows that is best
there are raspberries there and strawberries there and all that is good for men;
and if i were only there in the middle of my folk my heart could rest
for age itself would leave me there and i’d be young again
