Connamara Cradle Song – A Celtic Lullaby

On the wings of the wind o'er the dark rolling deep

Angels are coming to watch o'er thy sleep

Angels are coming to watch over thee

So list to the wind coming over the sea

Chorus:

Hear the wind blow love, hear the wind blow

Lean your head over and hear the wind blow

 

Oh, winds of the night, may your fury be crossed,

May no one who's dear to our island be lost

Blow the winds gently, calm be the foam

Shine the light brightly and guide them back home

Chorus

The currachs are sailing way out on the blue

Laden with herring of silvery hue

Silver the herring and silver the sea

And soon there'll be silver for baby and me

Chorus

The currachs tomorrow will stand on the shore

And daddy goes sailing, a sailing no more

The nets will be drying, the nets heaven blessed

And safe in my arms dear, contented he'll rest

Love me tender

(words & music by vera matson - elvis presley)

 

Love me tender,
Love me sweet,
Never let me go.
You have made my life complete,
And I love you so.

Love me tender,
Love me true,
All my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin I love you,
And I always will.

Love me tender,
Love me long,
Take me to your heart.
For its there that I belong,
And well never part.

Love me tender,
Love me dear,
Tell me you are mine.
Ill be yours through all the years,
Till the end of time.

(when at last my dreams come true
Darling this I know
Happiness will follow you
Everywhere you go).

Guantanamera

Spanish Lyrics to Guantanamera

Yo soy un hombre sincero
De donde crece la palma
Y antes de morirme quiero
Echar mis versos del alma
Guantanamera, guajira Guantanamera

Mi verso es de un verde claro
Y de un carmín encendido
Mi verso es un ciervo herido
Que busca en el monte amparo
Guantanamera, guajira Guantanamera

Cultivo una rosa blanca
En julio como en enero
Para el amigo sincero
Que me da su mano franca
Guantanamera, guajira Guantanamera

Con los pobres de la tierra
Quiero yo mi suerte echar
El arroyo de la sierra
Me complace más que el mar
Guantanamera, guajira Guantanamera

 

Guantanamera in English

I am a truthful man
From where the palm tree grows
And before dying I want
To let out the verses of my soul

My verse is light green
And it is flaming red
My verse is a wounded stag
Who seeks refuge on the mountain

I grow a white rose
In July just as in January
For the honest friend
Who gives me his open hand

With the poor people of the earth
I want to cast my lot
The brook of the mountains
Gives me more pleasure than the sea

Vaya Con Dios

Vaya Con Diós (Nana Mouskouri)

Vaya con dios mi vida

Vaya con dios mi amor

Se llegó ya el momento de separarnos

En silencio el corazón dice y suspira

Vaya con dios mi vida

Vaya con dios mi amor

Las campanas de la iglesia suenan tristes

Y parece que al sonar también te dicen

Vaya con dios mi vida

Vaya con dios mi amor

Adonde vayas tu, yo iré contigo

En sueños siempre junto a ti estaré

Mi voz escucharas, dulce amor mio

Pensando como yo estaras

Volvernos siempre a ver

La alborada al despertar feliz te espera

Si en tu corazón yo voy a donde quiera

Vaya con dios mi vida

Vaya con dios mi amor

Vaya con dios mi vida

Vaya con dios mi amor
