Lá na mara
Lá na mara nó rabharta
Guth na dtonnta a leanadh

Guth na dtonnta a leanfad ó
Lá na mara nó lom trá
Lá na mara nó rabharta

Lá an ghainimh, lom trá
Lá 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:]
'Sé mo laoch mo ghile mear

'Sé mo Shéasar, gile mear
Suan gan séan ní bhfuair mé féin
Ó chuaigh i gcéin 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]


Amhrán na farraige
Ór ar na seolta

Amhrán 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]

Ó chuaigh i gcéin mo ghile mear

(Since he went far away, my darling)

Amhrán na farraige
Ór ar na seolta
Ag seoladh na bhfonnta

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