Lyrics Enya – S’ Fagaim Mo Bhaile

Text:

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
