Enya - S' Fagaim Mo Bhaile Lyrics

[And I Leave My Home]

Maidin is tus an lae
Is fagaim mo bhaile
Ta mo chroise go bron
Is fad ar shiul m'oige

Oiche is me liom fein
Speartha dubh go domhain, a choich
Ag cuimhneamh ar laethanta a bhi
Gan gha agus gan ghruaim
Eistim leis an ghaoth
Uaigneas mor, go deo, a choich

Deireadh an turas mor
Taim bronach, buartha 's briste
I mo dhiaidh nach mbeidh nios mo
Ach, ta se i ndan duinn, a phaisti

Is fada anois an la
A d'fhag me mo bhaile
Nil athas i mo chroi
Nil ann ach an marbh

[Translation]

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
