JARAMA VALLEY 1. Alex McDade's original version 1. La versione originale di Alex McDade 1. La version originale d'Alex McDade 1. Alex McDaden alkuperäinen versio There’s a valley in Spain called Jarama, That's a place that we all know so well, for 'tis there that we wasted our manhood, And most of our old age as well. From this valley they tell us we're leaving But don't hasten to bid us adieu For e'en though we make our departure We'll be back in an hour or two Oh, we're proud of our British Battalion, And the marathon record it's made, Please do us this one little favour And take this last word to Brigade: "You will never be happy with strangers, They would not understand you as we, So remember the Jarama Valley And the old men who wait patiently". | JARAMA VALLEY There's a valley in Spain called Jarama it's a place that we all know so well it was there that we fought against the fascists we saw a peaceful valley turn to hell. From this valley they say we are going but don't hasten to bid us adieu even though we lost the battle at Jarama we'll set this valley free 'fore we're through. We were men of the Lincoln battalion we're proud of the fight that we made we know that you people of the valley will remember our Lincoln brigade. From this valley they say we are going but don't hasten to bid us adieu even though we lost the battle at Jarama we'll set this valley free 'fore we're through. You will never find peace with these fascists you will never find friends such as we so remember that valley of Jarama and the people that'll set that valley free. From this valley they say that we're going Don't hasten to bid us adieu even though we lost the battle at Jarama we'll set this valley free 'fore we're through. All this world is like this valley called Jarama so green and so bright and so fair no fascists can dwell in our valley nor breathe in our new freedom's air. From this valley they say that we're going Do not hasten to bid us adieu even though we lost the battle at Jarama we'll set this valley free 'fore we're through. |
