Island

On an island I long to be

Gazing out upon the shining surface of the sea

I hear the sound of the ocean wave on wave

Crying, You who have turned away from home



Ascnam tar tuinn topur ndílenn dochum nÉirenn



Deus caeli ac terrae

Maris et fluminum

Deus solis ac lunae



On an island I long to live

Seabirds lament the coming of the winter wind

I hear the endless sound of sea on shore

Crying, You who have turned away from home



Deus super caelo et in caelo et sub caelo

Habet habitaculum erga caelum

Et terram et mare

Et omnia quae sunt in eis

Non separantur Pater

Et Filius et Spiritus Sanctus



On an island I long to be

Evening brings a whisper of the summer breeze

I hear the song of the ocean wave on wave

Crying, You who have turned away from home



Ascnam tar tuinn topur ndílenn dochum nÉirenn



Inspirat omnia

Vivificat omnia

Superat omnia

Suffulcit omnia
