Trasna na dTonnta

Hi Everyone! We hope everyone is well and in good spirits! This number is, as always, a very old, traditional Irish song composed sometime in the 18th Century (no one really knows when). It speaks of a Irish traveler returning home after a highly unfulfilling trip abroad, finally realizing he's found all he was looking for right in his own country. It's a really sweet, upbeat number, which we love to perform. We've included an English translation at the bottom of this description. Hope you enjoy it! Thanks for watching, Alora & Kyrie English Translation Over the waves, returning, returning! Good-bye to loneliness and to the distant remoteness; Bright is my heart and bright is the sun, Happy to be returning to Ireland! I saw my fill of countries abroad, Gold and silver, the wealth of the world, My heart rises in me with the break of each day, As I draw closer to the land of my people! On my journey - oh! my heart rises! The weather is beautiful and the waves are settled Steering directly to land of my bosom And I'll be in Ireland tomorrow! People of the West, they're the friends of my heart, Welcome and celebration awaits me on every side. Leaving this life I pray to the Lord That it's with them I'll be stretched in the graveyard!
