Translation
Bilingual
I was born in Londonderry
I was born in Derry City too
Oh what a special child to see such things and still to smile
I knew that there was something wrong
But I kept my head down and carried on
I grew up in Enniskillen
I grew up in Inis Ceathlain too
Oh what a clever boy to watch your hometown be destroyed
I knew that I would not stay long
So I kept my head down and carried on
Who cares where national borders lie?
Who cares whose laws you're governed by?
Who cares what name you call a town?
Who cares when you're six feet beneath the ground?
ย
From the corner of my eye
A hint of blue in the black sky
A ray of hope, a beam of light
An end to thirty years of night
The churchbells ring
The children sing
What is this strange and beautiful thing?
It's the sunrise
Can you see the sunrise?
I can see the sunrise
It's the sunrise
