Pink flamingos lit the sky
Everything seemed almost surreal
All alone in the world before this ballet
We hardly dared to speak
There are things that we'll never forget
The smells, the strong wind
And when the melancholy comes again
We travel out of time
And I see once more the valleys of Ireland
Where the grass is a bed, for skirts spread wide
And the mists of the valleys of Ireland
Often rise to take us by surprise
Pink flamingos lit the sky
And I'm that girl without renewal*
Why does the autumn come to steal everything
And leave us only regrets
And I see once more the valleys of Ireland
Where the grass is a bed, for skirts spread wide
And the mists of the valleys of Ireland
Often rise to take us by surprise
It's true that my pain is overwhelming
But what needs to be understood is
If nothing [else] remains, it has to be said
There are [still] the memories.
