Song for Ireland by Mary Black/ Canción para Irlanda de Mary Black

 Celtic music is not everyone's favourite but I wanted to post today this beautiful song from the Irish singer  Mary Black.
I think it's a very relaxing song, I love the way she sings it. I hope you like it too!

Se  que no a todo el mundo le gusta la música celta  pero a mí, en pequeñas dosis, me relaja. 

Hoy, de camino a casa, me he acordado de esta canción: "Song for Ireland" de Mary Black. Me encanta como  la canta y el carácter que le dá me pone la piel de gallina. 

Es bastante difícil enterderla en inglés, por eso que os cuelgo la letra. Espero que os guste!


These are the lyrics:

Walking all the day, near tall towers
Where falcons build their nests
Siver winged they fly,
They know the call of freedom in their breasts
Saw black head against the sky
With twisted rocks that run down to the sea
Living on your western shore,
Saw summer sunsets, asked for more
I stood by your atlantic sea
And sang a song for ireland
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/m/mary_black/song_for_ireland.html ]
Talking all the day with true friends
Who try to make you stay
Telling jokes and news,
Singing songs to pass the night away
Watched the galway salmon run
Like silver dancing darting in the sun
Living on your western shore
Saw summer sunsets, asked for more
I stood by your atlantic sea
And sang a song for ireland

Drinking all the day in old pubs
Where fiddlers love to play
Someone touched the bow,
He played a reel
It seemed so fine and gay
Stood on dingle beach
And cast in wild foam we found atlantic bass
Living on your western shore,
Saw summer sunsets asked for more
I stood by your atlantic sea
And sang a song for Ireland

Dreaming in the night I saw a land
Where no man had to fight
Waking in your dawn
I saw you crying in the morning light
Lying where the falcons fly,
They twist and turn all in you e'er blue sky
Living on your western shore,
Saw summer sunsets asked for more
I stood by your atlantic sea
And sang a song for Ireland
