The Connemara Cradle Song

歌詞

On the wings of the wind o'er the dark rolling deep Angels are coming to watch o'er thy sheep Angels are coming to watch over thee So list to the wind coming over the sea [Chorus] Hear the wind blow love, hear the wind blow Lean your head over and hear the wind blow Oh, winds of the night, may your fury be crossed, May no one who's dear to our island be lost Blow the winds gently, calm be the foam Shine the light brightly and guide them back home [Chorus] The currachs are sailing way out on the blue Laden with herring of silvery hue Silver the herring and silver the sea And soon there'll be silver for baby and me [Chorus] The currachs tomorrow will stand on the shore And daddy goes sailing, a sailing no more The nets will be drying, the nets heaven blessed And safe in my arms dear, contented he'll rest
