Shepherd Moons lyrics

Language: Irish (Gaeilge)

¨¦ist le mo chro¨ª,
Go br¨®nach a cho¨ªch
T¨¢ m¨¦ caillte gan t¨²
's do bhean ch¨¦ile.
An gr¨¢ m¨®r i do shaoil
Threora¨ª s¨ª m¨¦.
B¨ªg¨ª liomsa i gc¨®n¨¢i
L¨¢ 's o¨ªch.

Ag caoineadh ar an uaigneas m¨®r
Na deora, go br¨®nach
Na gcodladh ins an uaigh ghlas chi¨²in
Faoi shuaimhneas, go domhain

My life goes on in endless song
above earth's lamentations,
I hear the real, though far-off hymn
that hails a new creation.

Through all the tumult and the strife
I hear it's music ringing,
It sounds an echo in my soul.
How can I keep from singing?

While though the tempest loudly roars,
I hear the truth, it liveth.
And though the darkness 'round me close,

Angels, answer me,
are you near if rain should fall?
Am I to believe
you will rise to calm the storm?
For so great a treasure words will never do.
Surely, if this is, promises are mine to give you. (mine to give...)

Here, all too soon the day!
Wish the moon to fall and alter tomorrow.
I should know
heaven has her way
- each one given memories to own.

Angeles, all could be

Book of Days

Ó oíche go hoíche, mo thuras, From night to night, my journey,
An bealach fada romham. The long pilgrimage before me.
Ó lá go lá, mo thuras, From day to day, my journey,
na scéalta na mbeidh a choích. The stories that will be forever.

Translation by Dave Allum ( )
Book of Days (English Version)

One day, one night, one moment

(TRANSLATION)

Olorin, who once was...
Sent by the Lords of the West
To guard the lands of the East
Wisest of all Maiar
What drove you to leave
That which you loved?

Mithrandir,Mithrandir O Pilgrim Grey
No more will you wander the green fields of this earth

Your journey has ended in darkness
The bonds cut,the spirit broken
The Flame of Anor has left this World
A great light,has gone out

Mare Nubium. Umbriel.
Mare Imbrium. Ariel.
Et itur ad astra.
Et itur ad astra.
Mare Undarum. Io. Vela.
Mirabile dictu. Mirabilia.
Mirabile visu. Mirabilia.
Et itur ad astra.
Et itur ad astra.
Sempervirent. Rosetum.

Afer Ventus. Zephyrus.
Volturnus. Africus.
Et itur ad astra.
Et itur ad astra.
Etesiarum. Eurus.

Running verse:
Suus cuique mos. Suum cuique.

... Eurus ...
... Afer Ventus ...

... so the world goes round and round
With all you ever knew -
They say the sky high above
Is Caribbean blue ...

... if every man says all he can,
If every man is true,
Do I believe the sky above
Is Caribbean blue ...

... Boreas ...
... Zephryus ...

... if all you told was turned to gold,
If all you dreamed were new,
Imagine sky high above

Amharc, mn¨¢ ag obair l¨¢ 's mall san o¨ªch,
Ceolann siad ar laetha geal, a bh¨ª,
Bealach fada anonn 's anall a ch¨®ich.

Each time on my leaving home
I run back to my mother's arms,
one last hold and then it's over.
Watching me, you know I cry,
you wave a kiss to say goodbye,
Feel the sky fall down upon me!
All I am,
a child with promises
All I have
are miles full of promises of home.
If only I could stay with you,
my train moves on, you're gone from view,

I dreamt I dwelt in marble halls
with vassels and serfs at my side,
and of all who assembled within those walls
that I was the hope and the pride.
I had riches all too great to count
and a high ancestral name.
But I also dreamt which pleased me most
that you loved me still the same,
that you loved me
you loved me still the same,
that you loved me
you loved me still the same.
