The Sea

Ailiu iath nErenn 

  I am the wind that breathes on the sea 
  I am the wave, wave on the ocean 
  I am the ray, the eye of the sun 
  I am the tomb, cold in the darkness 

  Who but I can cast light upon the meeting of the mountains? 
  Who but I will find the place where hides away the sun? 

  I am a star, the tear of the sun 
  I am a wonder, a wonder in flower 
  I am the spear as it cries out for blood 
  The word of great power 
  I am the wind that breathes on the sea 

  Who but I can cast light upon the meeting of the mountains? 
  Who but I will cry aloud the changes in the moon? 
  Who but I will find the place where hides away the sun? 

  I am the depths of a great pool 
  I am the song of the blackbird 
  I am wind that breathes on the sea 

  Who but I can cast light upon the meeting of the mountains? 
  Who but I will cry aloud the changes in the moon? 
  Who but I will find the place where hides away the sun? 

  Ailiu iath nErenn 

  From the breeze on the mountain to the lake of deep blue 
  From the waterfall down to the sea 
  Never changing or ending on the voice of the wind 
  Sing the dark song of Erenn to me 

  Ailiu iath nErenn
