Clannad - Banba Oir lyrics

rate me

Idir dhá láimh

Daoine fíuntach

Scríobh an ogham

I mbanba óir

I nglas héinne

Fial ó nádúir

Fonn ceoil

I mbanba óir

Lios na aileach

Draicht draiotheach

Tuamai rithe

I mbanba oir

Clochán naofa

Cill is caisléain

Truit na gceilteach

I mbanba óir

Translation

Both two hands

Of noble people

Write the ogham

In Golden Ireland

In young company

Noble of nature

Desire of music

In Golden Ireland

Ring forts of rock

The magic of the druids

Tombs of kings

In Golden Ireland

Holy clochan*

Churchyards and castles

Sound of the Celtic (or secret?) language**

In Golden Ireland.
