Lyrics Moya Brennan

Moya Brennan

Sailing Away

Sailing away to deeper oceans

Hearts are weary

These sleepless nights are hard

But I'm still longing for the hand that led me

Where I had spent my youth away

D'fhág mé slán ag na daoine' tá fágtha

'San talamh a rugadh mé

D'fhág mé slán ag daoine istigh i mo chroí

Sin mar a bheas chóiche

(I said farewell to everyone I love)

(And the land that I'll never see again)

Sweeping the waves to foreign mountains

Strange and lonely

I struggle to be brave

How I tremble remembering your brown eyes

Don't let my memories fade away

D'fhág mé slán ag na daoine' tá fágtha

'San talamh a rugadh mé

D'fhág mé slán ag daoine istigh i mo chroí

Sin mar a bheas chóiche
