The Connemara Cradle Song
On the wings of the wind o'er the dark rolling deepAngels are coming to watch o'er thy sheepAngels are coming to watch over theeSo list to the wind coming over the sea[Chorus]Hear the wind blow love, hear the wind blowLean your head over and hear the wind blowOh, winds of the night, may your fury be crossed,May no one who's dear to our island be lostBlow the winds gently, calm be the foamShine the light brightly and guide them back home[Chorus]The currachs are sailing way out on the blueLaden with herring of silvery hueSilver the herring and silver the seaAnd soon there'll be silver for baby and me[Chorus]The currachs tomorrow will stand on the shoreAnd daddy goes sailing, a sailing no moreThe nets will be drying, the nets heaven blessedAnd safe in my arms dear, contented he'll rest
