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
