From Anna Murray from Out Of The Blue
I'm not sure if the translation is right since it's from celtic lyricscorner, one line from translation in last verse
Gàir nan tonn gur trom an nuallan Seirm am chluais do ghlòir Dàn nam beann gach allt is fuaran Siaradh nuas le'd cheol 'S tù gach làtha gun tàmh mo bhuaireadh D'iargain bhuan gam leòn 'S tù gach oidhche chaoich mo bhruadar Gu Thìr Nan Òg
Heavy is the crying and murmuring of the waves Ringing your praises in my ear The poetry of the mountains is in every spring and burn Bearing your music down Every day is, without respite, provoking me And your eternal loss wounds me You are my nightly dream forever The Land of Youth
Bàs neo bròn cha bheo nad loinn fhir Uir air foill 's air gò Sair sior òl do dheo 's do chaoimhneis Aoibhneas snàmh 's na neoil Reultan airde latha sa dh'oidhche Boillsgeadh seamh troimh cheò Teudan tlàtha fàs ad choilltean Gu Thìr Nan Òg
Neither death nor sorrow can abide within you Where all treachery and deceit are buried, overcome Where the excellent ones partake of your sweet breath and benevolence Joy swims in your firmament And high stars, day and night Shine peacefully through a mist While the gentle sound of strings rise from your woods The Land of Youth
Cùl nan tonn tha long mo bhruadair Fuaradh mar bu nòs Rùn an Dàin a ghnàth ga gluasad Ciuin le luaths an eoin Iubraich Bhàin na fàg mi'm thruaghan Taobh nan cuantan mòr Doimhne craidh is gràdh gam dhuanadh Gu Tìr Nan Òg
Behind the waves is the galley of my dreams ___ Fate's design moving her smoothly With the speed of a bird Lubhraich Bhain, do not abandon me, like a wretch This side of the great oceans Where the depth of my torment, and my love, mold and prepare me For the Land of Youth
