Shannon Peace Flow

(Verse 1)
The morning mist lies on the hills of green,
The sweetest land that eyes have ever seen.
From Galway bay to the Dublin city lights,
We sing of the days and the long summer nights.

(Chorus)
Oh, Ireland, my home, where the wild clover grows,
Where the Shannon river so peacefully flows.
No matter how far or how wide I may roam,
The land of my heart is the place I call home.

(Verse 2 - As Gaeilge / In Irish)
Sna gleannta glasa mar a mhaireann an ceol, (In the green valleys where the music lives)
Tá spiorad na ndaoine go láidir sa seol. (The spirit of the people is strong in the sail)
Éire na n-amhrán, na gcarraigeacha móra, (Ireland of the songs, of the great rocks)
Fillfidh mé abhaile chun tusa a phógadh. (I will return home to kiss you.)

(Chorus)
Oh, Ireland, my home, where the wild clover grows,
Where the Shannon river so peacefully flows.
No matter how far or how wide I may roam,
The land of my heart is the place I call home.

(Verse 3 - As Gaeilge / In Irish)
Ag éisteacht le fuaim na dtonn ar an gcladach, (Listening to the sound of the waves on the shore)
Tá cuimhní mo mhuintire beo in mo chleachtadh. (The memories of my people are alive in my practice/ways)
Croí álainn, tír ársa, lán de ghrá, (Beautiful heart, ancient country, full of love)
Beidh mé leat i gconaí, ó oíche go lá. (I will be with you always, from night until day.)

(Outro)
The pipes are sounding, the bodhrán beats strong,
To the land of the emerald, we sing our last song.
Home... back home to the emerald shore.
