Barlin is a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region in northern France.
A small ex-coal mining town, now a light engineering and farming commune, situated 7 miles (11.3 km) south of Béthune and 30 miles (48.3 km) southwest of Lille, at the junction of the D57, D179 and the D188 roads.
We have to go back to 1141 to find the first mention of the parish of Barlin in a manuscript now kept in the National Archives. It was then spelt Ballin or Bellin. The name changed several times over the centuries: Ballin in 1141, Bellin in 1438 and Barlaing in 1556, it was not until the next century that it became Barlin.
In the 12th century, the territory of Barlin was divided into several lordships which depended on Saint-Pol-sur-Ternoise, Arras or Béthune. In 1207, Thomas Hasbare was seigneur of Barlin. The Melun family succeeded him and one of their lords, nicknamed Le Brun, the king's chamberlain, saw his property confiscated by Duke John the Fearless, who had accused him of alliegence with his enemies. The Duke of Burgundy then donated the land and income of Barlin to Walleran de Juhaucourt.
A man is walking alone
A woman cries at home
They could be anyone
Without each other, how
Could they live through all of the lies?
Intentions don't provide
So cling to those who you love
The only answer
Stay close and live as one
Through rain and darkened skies
You have the love you need
For all tomorrow's lies
They tell you try to have hope
And fight for all you can
These words, you've heard them before
So easy to believe
Stay close and live as one
Through rain and darkened skies
You have the love you need
For all tomorrow's lies
Stay close and live as one
Through rain and darkened skies
You have the love you need
For all tomorrow's lies
A man is walking alone
A woman cries at home
They could be anyone
The only answer
Stay close and live as one
Through rain and darkened skies
You have the love you need
For all tomorrow's lies
Stay close and live as one
Through rain and darkened skies
You have the love you need
For all tomorrow's lies
For all tomorrow's lies
For all tomorrow's lies
For all tomorrow's lies
For all tomorrow's lies
