Me n’aniré de casa [English translation]

I shall leave home,

I shall leave the countryside

The grey olive trees

Will be left behind.

I shall leave home

Following the path of wind;

Maybe I'll find the storm,

Possibly very bad weather...

My friend Peter

And the eldest of my brothers

Left some time ago

And now they shan't be back.

If I tell my mother

That I also want to leave,

My mother always weeps

And I don't know how to cry anymore!

I shall leave home

Following the path of wind;

Maybe I'll find the storm,

Possibly very bad weather...

But I shall leave home,

I shall leave the countryside

The grey olive trees

Will be left behind.
