Chloë, Hayley, Lisa, Máiréad, Méav, Órla Mo Ghile Mear Lyrics

Lá na mara The day of the sea
Lá na mara nó rabharta The day of the sea or of the high tides
Guth na dtonnta a leanadh To follow the voice of the waves
Guth na dtonnta a leanfad ó I would follow the voice of the waves
Lá na mara nó lom trá The day of the sea or the ebb tide
Lá na mara nó rabharta The day of the sea or of the high tides
Lá an ghainimh, lom trá The day of the sands, the ebb tide
Lá an ghainimh 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 He is my hero, my dashing darling
'Sé mo Shéasar, gile mear He is my Caesar, dashing darling
Suan gan séan ní bhfuair mé féin Rest or pleasure I did not get
Ó chuaigh i gcéin mo ghile mear 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 Song of the sea
Ór ar na seolta Gold on the sails
Amhrán na farraige Song of the sea
Ag seoladh na bhfonnta... 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 Playing the sea
Ag seinm na farraige 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 Song of the sea
Ór ar na seolta Gold on the sails
Ag seoladh na bhfonnta Sending the melodies
