Clannad thios chois na tra domh

Select language to translate this lyric

Below me by the beach, in the depth of the night
The great world is sleeping, and I am alone
The seabirds are shouting softly
Like poor souls in pain
Full of moon and full of talk
Joy and silence, and beauty in the world
Crown of the sea coming back to my ears
The soft music of the water flowing in the river
Inside there is an old blessed cemetery
The place where saints lived long ago
There are people in there who are turning gay
They will not walk over the shore anymore
Loneliness hit my mind as I looked at the cemetery
I'm thinking of people in there in their lives
Men who are young women, old people and children
The people of my family and the friends of my heart
Yes or no calling and the stars are white
The moon is shining and the day is not long
Farewell now my blessed old cemetery
And the people who would walk with me down by the beach
