Lyrics written by Roma Ryan. This song appears on Enya’s single Book Of Days, released in 1992.
Maidin is tus an lae 'S fagaim mo bhaile Ta mo chroise go bron 'S fada ar shuil m 'oige
Oiche 's me liom thein Speartha dubh go domhain a choich Ag ciumhneach ar laetha 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 Ach, ta se i ndan duinn, a phaisti
Is fada anois an lae A dfhag me mo bhaile Nil athas i mo chroi Nil ann ach an marbh Nil ann ach an marbh
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 Great loneliness forever, endless
The end of the long journey I am sad, sorrowful and broken After me there will be no more But children, it is our destiny 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 There is only death
