Original lyrics

EN

I want to know about the land from where we came from The story about the old man, I never knew his name I need to go to see that old house on the hill Visit ghosts in empty rooms The Celtic cross that bears my name I need to know the truth did we really own a Castle? Was my Grandad really King of the Clan so long ago? All I want to know, all I want to know All I want to know, what is my name? I'm going to the old land to find my life before We'll sing on steaming dunghills Cry tears on the shore I pray my dreams all come true I pray my dreams all come true I'll walk the path where the righteous men of wars before Sing a song of freedom and believe it's really true I'll read the signs at the crossroads in the village square Turn left for Ballykissangel, turn right for Ballycoog I need to know the truth, did they die for Ireland's glory? The patriot game they played, all the stories we were told All I want to know, all I want to know All I want to know, what is my name?
