Heave - that was beautiful. Thanks

thank you :)

It IS lovely Heave..the whole IDEAL....truth is (And I have relatives over in those countries as well) It LOOKS nice, but it is HARD. As hard as it is here...and a lot of them think it is great here. Tough times...EVERYWHERE! A lot of Europeans & English think America is GREAT too...doesn't mean they can just move here, trust me...I know. They have cut the English quota.

Very nice Heave. Here's another for you. It's a gaeilge sailing song. :)

"Mo Ghile Mear"

L na mara
L na mara n rabharta
Guth na dtonnta a leanadh
Guth na dtonnta a leanfad
L na mara n lom tr
L na mara n rabharta
L an ghainimh, lom tr
L an ghainimh

(The day of the sea
The day of the sea or of the high tides
To follow the voice of the waves
I would follow the voice of the waves
The day of the sea or the ebb tide
The day of the sea or of the high tides
The day of the sands, the ebb tide
The day of the sands)

Can you feel the river run?
Waves are dancing to the sun
Take the tide and face the sea
And find a way to follow me

Leave the field and leave the fire
And find the flame of your desire
Set your heart on this far shore
And sing your dream to me once more

[Chorus:]
'S mo laoch mo ghile mear
'S mo Shasar, gile mear
Suan gan san n bhfuair m fin
chuaigh i gcin mo ghile mear

(He is my hero, my dashing darling
He is my Caesar, dashing darling
Rest or pleasure I did not get
Since he went far away, my darling)

Now the time has come to leave
Keep the flame and still believe
Know that love will shine through darkness
One bright star to light the wave

[Chorus]

Amhrn na farraige
r ar na seolta
Amhrn na farraige
Ag seoladh na bhfonnta...

(Song of the sea
Gold on the sails
Song of the sea
Sending the melodies...)

Lift your voice and raise the sail
Know that love will never fail
Know that I will sing to you
Each night as I dream of you

[Chorus]

Ag seinm na farraige
Ag seinm na farraige
(Playing the sea
Playing the sea)

Seinn... Play...

[Chorus]

Gile mear, the wind and sun
The sleep is over, dream is done
To the west where fire sets
To the gile mear, the day begun

[Chorus 2x]

chuaigh i gcin mo ghile mear
(Since he went far away, my darling)

Amhrn na farraige
r ar na seolta
Ag seoladh na bhfonnta
(Song of the sea
Gold on the sails
Sending the melodies)

I love celtic music. This is so beautiful.....

I'm sure you probably know this one Heave. My fav version is by Owyn Phyfe. (I'm a Ren Faire junkie and it is so cool at the end pub sing when everyone sings this song together.) :)

Kind friends and companions, come join me in rhyme
Come lift up your voices in chorus with mine
Let us drink and be merry, all grief to refrain
For we may and might never all meet here again

Chorus:
Here's a health to the company and one to my lass
Let us drink and be merry all out of one glass
Let us drink and be merry, all grief to refrain
For we may and might never all meet here again

Here's a health to the dear lass that I love so well
Her style and her beauty, sure none can excel
There's a smile upon her countenance as she sits on my knee
Sure there's no one in in this wide world as happy as we

Our ship lies at harbor, she's ready to dock
I hope she's safe landed without any shock
If ever we should meet again by land or by sea
I will always remember your kindness to me
