I would like to know the lyrics of a song sung by DE DANNAN in their album 'Jacket of batteries' . The only hint I have is that the chorus says 'I'm lost in Catalonia' (or something like that). Thanks thanks thanks!

Catalonia? Caledonia?

If so - see DT.

I've checked for Caledonia in DT: no luck.

However, thank you Ryan!

There's a song in the DT as "Caledonia (2)" which was recorded by De Danann a long time ago. I haven't seen the particular album for some time and am just guessing it may be what you are looking for.I'll check it out

regards

The song looked for is definitely called "Catalonia". I can't provide the lyrics for in each of the many verses of this beautiful song several words defy my attempts to understand them but as a help for the search, it starts like this: There's blue skies across the bay sunshine on december days and white horses over the (maize?) that fall (on?) Catalonia. The northern winter's dull and grey and (be??) so easily slips away and many's the young ones sent away to fight in Caledonia. Barcelona's dressed in banners bright and ballad singers in the night... regards Wolfgang

Dear Wolfgang! Is the song you mentioned in Spanish (or catalán)? I should like to see it. Maybe I can help you in some of the words... Viele Gruesse aus Stuttgart ([e-mail]). Friedhelm

The song "Catalonia" is on the Phil and June Colclough album "Players from a Drama", Celtic Music CMCD 060, 1991, Produced by Martin and Jessica Simpson, with accompaniment from Martin Simpson and Laurie Harper.

Amazon UK has two new and one used on offer. Amazon US appears to be the new UK listings. I got a new copy recently (last month)for $6 plus p+p (about £9 total from an American source, but can't find the link any more.
