ENYA - 'S Fagaim Mo Bhaile (And I leave my Home) lyrics

rate me

Maidin is tús an lae

Is fágaim mo bhaile

Tá mo chroíse go brón

Is fad ar shiúl m'óige

Oíche is mé liom féin

Spéartha dubh go domhain, a choích

Ag cuimhneach ar laethanta a bhí

Gan ghá agus gan ghruaim

Eistim leis an ghaoth

Uaigneas mór, go deo, a choích

Deireadh an turas mór

Táim brónach, buartha 's briste

I mo dhiaidh nach mbeidh níos mó

Ach, tá sé i ndán dúinn, a pháistí

Is fada anois an lá

A d'fhág mé mo bhaile

Níl áthas i mo chroí

Níl ann ach an marbh.

(Translation:

And I Leave My Home

Morning and the day's beginning

And I leave my home

My heart is breaking

My youth is long past

Night and I am alone

Endless deep black skies

Remembering days that were

Without want and without gloom

I listen to the wind

Endless great loneliness forever

The end of the long journey

I am sad, sorrowful, broken

After me there will be no more (of my kind)

But children, it is our destiny

The day is long past

When I left my home

There is no hope in my heart

There is only death )
