Credits : Michael McGlynn
Appears On : Deep Dead Blue
Language : English & Latin

Lyrics : English Translation :
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 To sail across the wild sea back to Ireland
Deus caeli ac terrae God of heaven and earth
Maris et fluminum The sea and the rivers
Deus solis ac lunae God of the sun and the moon
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 God above heaven and in heaven and under heaven
Habet habitaculum erga caelum He dwells in heaven
Et terram et mare And earth and sea
Et omnia quae sunt in eis And all that is in them
Non separantur Pater Not separate are the Father
Et Filius et Spiritus Sanctus The Son and the Holy Spirit
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 To sail across the wild sea back to Ireland
Inspirat omnia He inspires all things
Vivificat omnia He makes all things grow
Superat omnia He is above all things
Suffulcit omnia He supports all things
