Liricí AmhránSong Lyrics

Faoiseamh

Written by Máirtín Ó Díreáin

As recorded by Kíla on Handel's Fantasy

Irish English
Faoiseamh a gheobhadsa I would find peace
Seal beag gairid For a short time
I measc mo dhaoine In the midst of my people
Ar oileán mara On an island of the sea
Ag siúl cois cladaigh Walking by the strand
Maidin is tráthnóna Morning and evening
Ó Luain go Sathairn From Monday to Saturday
Thiar ag baile At home in the west
   
Faoiseamh a gheobhadsa I would find peace
Seal beag gairid For a short time
I measc mo dhaoine In the midst of my people
Ar oileán mara On an island of the sea
Ó chrá chroí From torments of the heart
Ó uaigneas duairc From miserable solitude
Ó bhfuar d'aigne From coldness of the mind
Thiar ag baile At home in the west
   
Faoiseamh a gheobhadsa I would find peace
Faoiseamh a gheobhadsa I would find peace
Faoiseamh a gheobhadsa I would find peace
