Brandan [English translation]

[Strophe 1]

Tell me, tell me, mac Lir

Where does the next wind blow to?

I tied my boat to seven islands

And there the years are passing

Show me, show me, mac Lir

Where the curtain of mist falls

Within me rests a silver branch

From the trees of the other world

[Refrain]

We set the sails and

we are carried in the wind

One thousand times at the sea

We sail there led by stars

And we chase after happiness

[Strophe 2]

Trust me, trust me, mac Lir,

When I'm singing my song,

[Trust] That I'll lead the quest till the end

And that I'll subdue the monsters

Just look, just look, mac Lir

I am now in noble land

However I can't stay,

The course is set

And the rudder is firm in the hand
