Sailing Away - Maire Brennan

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

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

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

I said goodbye to the people 'left

'I was born in the land

I said goodbye to people inside my heart

That's how it will always be

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
