Destiny (2015)












My Land lyrics - Celtic Woman

How green are your valleys, how blue your great skies
Your mountains stand tall in their glory
Your rivers run free, the bright stars are your eyes
Your beauty is endless before me

For you are the song ever singing in me
And you are the heart ever true
For you are my land and you always will be
The voice ever calling me... home to you

When to your green valleys some day I return
When you lay your mantle around me
At rest I will be where the heart will not yearn
With my land to ever...surround me

For you are the song ever singing in me
And you are the heart ever true
For you are my land and you always will be
The voice ever calling me... home to you

For you are the song ever singing in me
And you are the heart ever true
For you are my land and you always will be
The voice ever calling me... home to you

The voice ever calling me...home to you

Siúil A Rúin lyrics - Celtic Woman

("Destiny" Version)

Siúil, siúil, siúil a rúin
Siúil go sochair agus siúil go ciúin
Siúil go doras agus éalaigh liom

I wish I were on yonder hill
'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill
'til every tear would turn a mill
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán

Siúil, siúil, siúil a rúin
Siúil go sochair agus siúil go ciúin
Siúil go doras agus éalaigh liom

Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán

I'll sell my rock, I'll sell my reel
I'll sell my only spinning wheel
To buy my love a sword of steel
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán

Siúil, siúil, siúil a rúin
Siúil go sochair agus siúil go ciúin
Siúil go doras agus éalaigh liom

Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán

I wish, I wish, I wish in vain
I wish I had my heart again
And they may think I'm not complete

Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán

Siúil, siúil, siúil a rúin
Siúil go sochair agus siúil go ciúin
Siúil go doras agus éalaigh liom

Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán

Ride On lyrics - Celtic Woman

True, you ride the finest horse I have ever seen
Standing sixteen one or two, with eyes wild and green
And you ride the horse so well, hands light to the touch
I could never go with you, no matter how I wanted to

Ride on, see you, I could never go with you
No matter how I wanted to
Ride on, see you, I could never go with you
No matter how I wanted to

When you ride into the night without a trace behind
Run your claw along my gut one last time
I turn to face an empty space where you used to lie
I look for the spark that lights the night
Through the teardrops in my eye

Ride on, see you, I could never go with you
No matter how I wanted to
Ride on, see you, I could never go with you
No matter how I wanted to

Ride on, see you, I could never go with you
No matter how I wanted to
Ride on, see you, I could never go with you
No matter how I wanted to

I could never go with you
No matter how I wanted to
Oh, I could never go with you
No matter how I wanted to

The Whole Of The Moon lyrics - Celtic Woman

(originally by The Waterboys)

I pictured a rainbow
You held it in your hands
I had flashes
But you saw the plan
I wandered out in the world for years
While you just stayed in your room
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon

You were there in the turnstiles
With the wind at your heels
You stretched for the stars
And you know how it feels
To reach too high
Too far
Too soon
You saw the whole of the moon

I was grounded
While you filled the skies
I was dumbfounded by truth
You cut through lies
I saw the rain dirty valley
You saw Brigadoon
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon

I spoke about wings
You just flew
I wondered I guessed and I tried
You just knew
I sighed
But you swooned
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon

Unicorns and cannonballs
Palaces and piers
Trumpets, towers and tenements
Wide oceans full of tears
Flags, rags, ferryboats
Scimitars and scarves
Every precious dream and vision
Underneath the stars

Yes you climbed on the ladder
With the wind in your sails
You came like a comet
Blazing your trail
Too high
Too far
Too soon
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon

How Can I Keep From Singing lyrics - Celtic Woman

My life goes on in endless song
Above earth's lamentations
I hear the trumpets sounding strong
That hails a new creation
Through all the tumult and the strife
I hear its music ringing
It ever echoes in my life
How can I keep from singing?

And though the shadows gather 'round
The endless song it giveth
My strength within and joy abound
The world of truth it liveth
Though dark the night and long the road
I hear the music ringing
And with such power and grace bestowed
How can I keep from singing?

No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to this rock I'm clinging
How can I ever come to harm?
How can I keep from singing?
Then sings my soul with love profound
A fountain ever springing
Deep from the earth how sweet the sound
How can I keep from singing?

I See Fire lyrics - Celtic Woman

(originally by Ed Sheeran)

Oh, misty eye of the mountain below
Keep careful watch of my brothers' souls
And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke
Keep watching over Durin's sons

If this is to end in fire
Then we should all burn together
Watch the flames climb high into the night

Calling out, father, oh
Stand by and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountain side, oh

And if we should die tonight
Then we should all die together
Watch the flames climb high for the last time

Calling out, father, oh
Prepare as we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky

Now I see fire
Inside the mountain
I see fire
Burning the trees
And I see fire
Hollowing souls
And I see fire
Blood in the breeze
And I hope that you remember me

Oh, should my people fall
Then surely I'll do the same
Confined in mountain halls
We got too close to the flame

Calling out, father, oh
Hold fast and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky

Now I see fire
Inside the mountain
I see fire
Burning the trees
And I see fire
Hollowing souls
I see fire
Blood in the breeze
And I hope that you remember me

And if the night is burning
I will cover my eyes
For if the dark returns
Then my brothers will die
And as the sky is falling down
It crashed into this lonely town
And with that shadow on the ground
I hear my people screaming out

I see fire
Inside the mountain
I see fire
Burning the trees
And I see fire
Hollowing souls
I see fire
Blood in the breeze

I see fire (fire)
And I see fire (fire)
And I see fire (fire)
And I see fire burn auburn on the mountain side

Tir Na Nog lyrics - Celtic Woman (feat. Oonagh)

Sha ta co ti oh scum ne rivna
Sha ta co ti oh nugga Tír na nÓg
Sha ta co ti oh scum ne rivna
Nug a Tír na nÓg

Come, my love, our worlds will part
The gods will guide us across the dark
Come with me and be mine, my love
Stay and break my heart

From the shores through the ancient mists
You bear the mark of my Elven kiss
Clear the way, I will take you home
To eternal bliss

Sha ta co ti oh scum ne rivna
Sha ta co ti oh nugga Tír na nÓg
Sha ta co ti oh scum ne rivna
Nug a Tír na nÓg
Sha ta co ti oh scum ne rivna
Sha ta co ti oh nugga Tír na nÓg
Sha ta co ti oh scum ne rivna
Nug a Tír na nÓg
Tír na nÓg, oh
Come beyond the ancient fog
Tír na nÓg, oh
Come with me to Tír na nÓg

Far away from the land you knew
The dawn of day reaches out to you
Though it feels like a fairy tale
All of this is true

Run with me, have a look around
We built our life over sacred ground
Come, my love, our worlds may part
We'll be safe and sound

Sha ta co ti oh scum ne rivna
Sha ta co ti oh nugga Tír na nÓg
Sha ta co ti oh scum ne rivna
Nug a Tír na nÓg
Tír na nÓg, oh
Come beyond the ancient fog
Tír na nÓg, oh
Come with me to Tír na nÓg

Time won't follow the path we came
The world you left, it forgot your name
Stay with me and be mine, my love
Spare my heart the pain

Sha ta co ti oh scum ne rivna
Sha ta co ti oh nugga Tír na nÓg
Sha ta co ti oh scum ne rivna
Nug a Tír na nÓg
Sha ta co ti oh scum ne rivna
Sha ta co ti oh nugga Tír na nÓg
Sha ta co ti oh scum ne rivna
Nug a Tír na nÓg
Tír na nÓg, oh
Come beyond the ancient fog
Tír na nÓg, oh
Come with me to Tír na nÓg

Come with me to Tír na nÓg

Óró Sé Do Bheatha 'Bhaile lyrics - Celtic Woman

Óró, sé do bheatha 'bhaile
Óró, sé do bheatha 'bhaile
Óró, sé do bheatha 'bhaile
Anois ar theacht an tsamhraidh

Óró, sé do bheatha 'bhaile
Óró, sé do bheatha 'bhaile

'Sé do bheatha, a bhean ba léanmhar

Sometimes A Prayer Will Do lyrics - Celtic Woman

(originally by Secret Garden)

Sometimes we stumble
Sometimes we even fall
And we can't find a friend
Can't comprehend it all

And we are lost
With nothing to hold on to
When we can't find the answer
Sometimes a prayer will do

And though we wonder
Uncertain if we will get through
To face the future
Sometimes a prayer will do

Sometimes we reach
For what's not really there
Sometimes we lose our grip
Come tumbling through midair

And we are searching
For something to hold on to
When we can't find the answer
Sometimes a prayer will do

And though we wonder
Uncertain if we will get through
To face the future
Sometimes a prayer will do

Yeah, we are stronger
Somehow we know we will get through
To face the future
Sometimes a prayer will do

Yes, we are stronger
Somehow we know we will get through
To face the future
Sometimes a prayer will do
Sometimes a prayer will do

Bean Phaidin lyrics - Celtic Woman

'S é'n trua ghéar nach mise, nach mise
'S é'n trua ghéar nach mise bean Pháidín
'S é'n trua ghéar nach mise, nach mise
'S an bhean atá aige bheith caillte

Rachainn go Gallaí' go Gallaí'
Is rachainn go Gallaí' le Pháidín
Rachainn go Gallaí' go Gallaí'
Is thiocfainn abhaile sa mbád leis

'S é'n trua ghéar nach mise, nach mise
'S é'n trua ghéar nach mise bean Pháidín
'S é'n trua ghéar nach mise, nach mise
'S an bhean atá aige bheith caillte

Oh I got to go, got to go, got to go away with Páidín
Oh we get to go, we're together
And say the way home in the Páidín

'S é'n trua ghéar nach mise, nach mise
'S é'n trua ghéar nach mise bean Pháidín
'S é'n trua ghéar nach mise, nach mise
'S an bhean atá aige bheith caillte

I look through the window, the window
I look through the window for Páidín
His wife is just sitting there knitting
While I'm stuck outside in the garden

I wish I was wedded
Was wed, I wish I was wedded to Páidín
He's chosen to marry another
And that is the cause of my raging

Rachainn go haonach an Chlocháin
Is siar go Béal Á' na Báighe
Bhreathnóinn isteach tríd an bhfuinneog
A' súil is go bhfeicfinn bean Pháidín

'S é'n trua ghéar nach mise, nach mise
'S é'n trua ghéar nach mise bean Pháidín
'S é'n trua ghéar nach mise, nach mise
'S an bhean atá aige bheith caillte

I wish he were taken, were taken
The beautiful wife of my Páidín
He'd not be forsaken, forsaken
I'd still take my place there beside him

'S é'n trua ghéar nach mise, nach mise
'S é'n trua ghéar nach mise bean Pháidín
'S é'n trua ghéar nach mise, nach mise
'S an bhean atá aige bheith caillte

Westering Home lyrics - Celtic Woman

Westering home with a song in the air
Light in the eye and its good by to care
Laughter o' love and a welcoming there
Isle of my heart, my own land

Tell me of lands of the Orient gay
Speak of the riches that come from Cathay
Ah but it's grand to be woken at day
And find yourself nearer to Islay

Westering home with a song in the air
Light in the eye and its good by to care
Laughter o' love and a welcoming there
Light of my heart, my own land

Where are the folk like the folk of the west
Canty and couthy and kindly, the best
There I would hie me and there I would rest
At home with my own folk in Islay

Westering home with a song in the air
Light in the eye and its good by to care
Laughter o' love and a welcoming there
Light of my heart, my own land

Now I'm at home and at home I do lay
Dreaming of riches that come from Cathay
I'll board a good ship and I'll be on my way
And bring back my fortune to Islay

Westering home with a song in the air
Light in the eye and its good by to care
Laughter o' love and a welcoming there
Light of my heart, my own land

Westering home with a song in the air
Light in the eye and its good by to care
Laughter o' love and a welcoming there
Light of my heart, my own land

Westering home with a song in the air
Light in the eye and its good by to care
Laughter o' love and a welcoming there
Light of my heart, my own land

Westering home with a song in the air
Light in the eye and its good by to care
Laughter o' love and a welcoming there
Light of my heart, my own land
Light of my heart, my own land

When You Go lyrics - Celtic Woman

Now the time has come, pack your true belongings
Fill your heart with love, travel is homecoming
Do not fear to fade, find the strength within you
Sing your song today of summer on its way
When the night comes, look to the skies
Fairy tales told of pixies disguised
When the night comes, you will arise
The stars in the sky will lead you back home

When you go will you take my love with you with your heartbeat?
Over rivers, streams, and mountains high and low
When you leave will you take my love with you with your heartbeat?
All I want is bring back to me
When you go

When you go

Now the time has come, pack your true belongings
Fill your heart with love, travel is homecoming
Over stormy seas, journey to adventure
Overcome our needs, conquer your dreams
When the night comes, look to the skies
Fairy tales told of pixies disguised

When you go will you take my love with you with your heartbeat?
Over rivers, streams, and mountains high and low
When you leave will you take my love with you with your heartbeat?
All I want is bring back to me
When you go

When you go, when you go, when you go
When you go, when you go, when you go
When you go-o-o, when you go-o-o, when you go
All I want is bring back to me

When you go will you take my love with you with your heartbeat?
Over rivers, streams, and mountains high and low
When you leave will you take my love with you with your heartbeat?
All I want is bring back to me

When you go

Like An Angel Passing Through My Room lyrics - Celtic Woman

(originally by ABBA)

Long-awaited darkness falls
Casting shadows on the walls
In the twilight hour I am alone
Sitting near the fireplace
Dying embers warm my face

In this peaceful solitude
All the outside world subdued
Everything comes back to me again
In the gloom
Like an angel passing through my room

Half-awake and half in dreams
Seeing long-forgotten scenes
So the present runs into the past
Now and then become entwined
Playing games within my mind

Like the embers as they die
Love was one prolonged good-bye
And it all comes back to me tonight
In the gloom
Like an angel passing through my room

I close my eyes
And my twilight images go by
All too soon
Like an angel passing through my room

Everything comes back to me again
In the gloom
Like an angel passing through my room

I close my eyes
And my twilight images go by
All too soon
Like an angel passing through my room

Walk Beside Me lyrics - Celtic Woman

A child begins with one single step
Then walks a million miles
And though these wings are not ready yet
I will try to fly

My eyes can't see
My arms can't reach
I need strength when I'm weak
I need your faith in me

Don't walk in front of me
I was not born to follow
Don't walk behind me
We were all born to lead
Don't walk without me
I might need you tomorrow
Walk right beside me
Be the real friend I need

If you take small stones, one at a time
You will move that whole mountain
If you climb each rainbow, it's gold that you'll find
And shelter from the rain

My ears can't hear
My heart can't feel
I need strength when I'm weak
I need your faith in me

Don't walk in front of me
I was not born to follow
Don't walk behind me
We were all born to lead
Don't walk without me
I might need you tomorrow
Walk right beside me
Be the real friend I need

Don't walk in front of me
I was not born to follow
Don't walk behind me
We were all born to lead
Don't walk without me
I might need you tomorrow
Walk right beside me
Be the real friend I need
Walk right beside me
Be the real friend I need

Skylands lyrics - Celtic Woman

Do you hear the sound
Beating like a crowd?
Every single star seems to light up now
In these days of rain
Only you remain
Find me where horizons and stars collide

Ní neart go cur le chéile
Ní neart go cur le chéile

Over hills and highlands
I will take on your hands
In these steps forever
These hearts beat together
Higher, higher
We fly in skylands
Higher, higher
We fly in skylands

I can feel your heat
Burning all retreat
No more looking back, with you I'm complete
To the deep blue sea
And for this precious seat
Take us where the raindrops and sun collide

Ní neart go cur le chéile
Ní neart go cur le chéile

Over hills and highlands
I will take on your hands
In these steps forever
These hearts beat together
Higher, higher
We fly in skylands
Higher, higher
We fly in skylands

Higher, higher
We fly in skylands
Higher, higher
We fly in skylands

Over hills and highlands
I will take on your hands
Higher, higher
We fly in skylands

O Tannenbaum lyrics - Celtic Woman

O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum
Wie treu sind deine Blätter
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum
Wie treu sind deine Blätter
Du grünst nicht nur zur Sommerzeit
Nein, auch im Winter, wenn es schneit
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum
Wie treu sind deine Blätter

O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum
Risplendi nella notte
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum
Risplendi nella notte
Le luci tue scintillano
Come le stelle brillano
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum
Risplendi nella notte

O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree
How lovely are your branches
O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree
How lovely are your branches
They're green when summer days are bright
They're green when winter snow is white
O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree
How lovely are your branches

O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum
Wie treu sind deine Blätter
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum
Wie treu sind deine Blätter
Du grünst nicht nur zur Sommerzeit
Nein, auch im Winter, wenn es schneit
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum
Wie treu sind deine Blätter
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum
Wie treu sind deine Blätter

Home For Christmas (2012)









I'll Be Home For Christmas lyrics - Celtic Woman

(originally by Bing Crosby)

I'm dreaming tonight
Of a place I love
Even more than I usually do
And although I know
It's a long road back
I promise you

I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please, have snow and mistletoe
And presents by the tree

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please, have snow and mistletoe
And presents by the tree

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams

Hark The Herald Angels Sing lyrics - Celtic Woman

Hark! The herald angels sing:
"Glory to the newborn King
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled"
Joyful, all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With angelic host proclaim:
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"
Hark! The herald angels sing:
"Glory to the newborn King"

Christ by highest heav'n adored
Christ the everlasting Lord
Late in time behold Him come
Offspring of a Virgin's womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see
Hail the incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with man to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel
Hark! The herald angels sing:
"Glory to the newborn King"

Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace
Hail the Son of Righteousness
Light and life to all He brings
Ris'n with healing in His wings
Mild He lays His glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth
Hark! The herald angels sing:
"Glory to the newborn King"

Joyful, all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With angelic host proclaim:
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"
Hark! The herald angels sing:
"Glory to the newborn King."

Santa Claus Is Coming To Town lyrics - Celtic Woman

(Santa Claus is coming to town)

(Well, I tell you Martin, I don't want to be Santa this year. I've been up and down the streets trying to find my own presents
Well, I hope you got me something nice, at least
Ah, sure he'd get you something small if you're good
Sure lads, why don't we sing a song. We can worry about it afterwards)

You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
(Santa Claus is coming to town)

He's making a list
And checking it twice
He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake

You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
(Santa Claus is coming to town)

Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list
Oh, checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming
Oh, Santa Claus is coming
(Yeah)
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

(You know guys, I still can't figure out what to get them this year
Sure, you could do what I do: sing 'em a song
Yeah, maybe that, and a surprise
Well, I'd better get the chimney cleaned, at least
Yeah, and get that glass o' something ready for Santa. He gets very thirsty, you know
Yeah, it's a funny thing, that, Finbarry.)

Silent Night lyrics - Celtic Woman

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from Heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing hallelujah

Christ the Saviour is born
Christ the Saviour is born
Christ the Saviour is born

Silent night, holy night
Son of God love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace

Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth

We Three Kings lyrics - Celtic Woman

We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain
Following yonder star

Born a King on Bethlehem's plain
Gold I bring to crown Him again
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign

O Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to Thy perfect light

O Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to Thy perfect light

Glorious now, behold Him arise
King and God and Sacrifice
Alleluia, Alleluia
Earth to heav'n replies

O Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to Thy perfect light

What Child Is This lyrics - Celtic Woman

What Child is this who, laid to rest
On Mary's lap, is sleeping?
Whom Angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping?

Oh raise, oh raise a song on high
His mother sings a lullaby
Joy, oh joy for Christ is born
The Babe, the Son of Mary

This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing
Haste, haste, to bring Him praise
The Babe, the Son of Mary

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh
Come peasant, king to own Him
The King of kings, salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him

This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing
Haste, haste, to bring Him praise
The Babe, the Son of Mary

This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing
Haste, haste, to bring Him praise
The Babe, the Son of Mary

This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing
Haste, haste, to bring Him praise
The Babe, the Son of Mary
The Babe, the Son of Mary

Venite adoremus
Venite adoremus

Winter Wonderland lyrics - Celtic Woman

(originally by Richard Himber)

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song, as we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown

He'll say: "Are you married?"
We'll say: "No man
But you can do the job when you're in town"

Later on, we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid, the plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman
Until the other kids, they knock him down

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland

Mary's Boy Child lyrics - Celtic Woman

(originally by Harry Belafonte)

Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible says
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day

Hark, now hear the angels sing a new king born today
And man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day

While shepherds watch their flocks by night
They saw a bright new shining star
And heard a choir from heaven sing
The music came from afar

Hark, now hear the angels sing a new king born today
And man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day

Now Joseph and his wife, Mary
Came to Bethlehem that night
They found no place to bear her child
Not a single room was in sight

Hark, now hear the angels sing a new king born today
And man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day

By and by they found a nook in a stable all forlorn
And in a manger cold and dark, Mary's little child was born

Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
That man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day
Hark, now hear the angels sing a new king born today
And man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day
And man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day

Auld Lang Syne lyrics - Celtic Woman

Should old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot
For auld lang syne

For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne

And surely you'll buy your pint stowe
And surely I'll buy mine
And we'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne

For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne

We two have run about the braes
And pu'd the gowans fine
And we've wandered many a weary step
Since auld lang syne

For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne

We two have paddled in the burn
From morning sun till dine
But the seas between us broad have roared
Since auld lang syne

For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne

Joy To The World lyrics - Celtic Woman

Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let Earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room
And Heaven and nature sing
And Heaven and nature sing
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing

Joy to the world, the Savior reigns
Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy

He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
And wonders, wonders, of His love

Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let Earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room
And Heaven and nature sing (And Heaven and nature sing)
And Heaven and nature sing (And Heaven and nature sing)
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing

An Angel lyrics - Celtic Woman

(originally by The Kelly Family)

I wish I had your pair of wings
Had them last night in my dreams
I was chasing butterflies
'Til the sunrise broke my eyes

Tonight the sky has glued my eyes
'Cause what they see's an Angel hive
I've got to touch that magic star
And greet the angels in their hive

Sometimes I wish I were an angel
Sometimes I wish I were you
Sometimes I wish I were an angel
Sometimes I wish I were you

And all the sweet honey from above
Pour it all over me, sweet love
And while you're flying around my head
Your honey kisses keep me fed

I wish I had your pair of wings
Just like last night in my dreams
I was lost in paradise
I wish I'd never opened my eyes

Sometimes I wish I were an angel
Sometimes I wish I were you
Sometimes I wish I were an angel
Sometimes I wish I were you

But there's danger in the air
Trying so hard to be unfair
Danger's in the air trying so hard
To give us a scare but we're not afraid

Sometimes I wish I were an angel
Sometimes I wish I were you
Sometimes I wish I were an angel
Sometimes I wish I were you
Oh I wish I wish I were you

There Must Be An Angel (Playing With My Heart) lyrics - Celtic Woman

(originally by Eurythmics)

No one on Earth could feel like this
I'm thrown and overblown with bliss
There must be an Angel
Playing with my heart

I walk into an empty room
And suddenly my heart goes boom
It's an orchestra of Angels
And they're playing with my heart, yeah

Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel

No one on Earth could feel like this
I'm thrown and overblown with bliss
There must be an Angel
Playing with my heart

And when I think that I'm alone
It seems there's more of us at home
It's a multitude of Angels
And they're playing with my heart

Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel

I must be hallucinating
Watching Angels celebrating
Could this be reactivating
All my senses dislocating
This must be a strange deception
By celestial intervention
Leaving me the recollection
Of your heavenly connection

Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel

I walk into an empty room
And suddenly my heart goes boom
It's an orchestra of Angels
They're playing with my heart

Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel

Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel

Somewhere lyrics - Celtic Woman

There's a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us
Somewhere

There's a time for us
Someday a time for us
Time together with time to spare
Time to learn, time to care
Someday, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere
Somewhere

There's a place for us
A time and place for us
Hold my hand and we're half way there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow
Someday
Somewhere

Water Under The Bridge lyrics - Celtic Woman

(originally by Adele)

If you're not the one for me
Then how come I can bring you to your knees?
And if you're not the one for me
Why do I hate the idea of being free?
And if I'm not the one for you
You've gotta stop holding me the way you do
Honey, if I'm not the one for you
Why have we been through what we have been through?

It's so cold out here in your wilderness
I want you to be my keeper
But not if you are so reckless

If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently
Don't pretend that you don't want me
Our love ain't water under the bridge
If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently
Don't pretend that you don't want me
Our love ain't water under the bridge
Ohh, say that our love ain't water under the bridge

What are you waiting for?
You never seem to make it through the door
And who are you hiding from?
It ain't no life to live like you're on the run
Have I ever asked for much?
The only thing that I want is your love

If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently
Don't pretend that you don't want me
Our love ain't water under the bridge
If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently
Don't pretend that you don't want me
Our love ain't water under the bridge
Ohh, say that our love ain't water under the bridge

It's so cold out here in your wilderness
I want you to be my keeper
But not if you are so reckless

If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently
Don't pretend that you don't want me
Our love ain't water under the bridge
If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently
Don't pretend that you don't want me
Our love ain't water under the bridge

Ohh, say that our love ain't water under the bridge
Ohh, say that our love ain't water under the bridge

Awakening lyrics - Celtic Woman

Now when the world is shadowed and dark
Now when the sky is empty of stars
Now when the world is wrapped in sleep
In a quiet endless and deep
In the silence of the night

Far off in the distance
A fire comes to life
A flicker of a flame breaks through the dark
Burning soft and bright
Dancing with the light
Awakening the Heavens and the Earth

Far across the ocean
A flame is rising high
Breaking through the shadows and the dark
Shining in the night
Rising with the light
Here to wake the Heavens and the Earth

Now as the light starts to rise
Now as the day opens wide
Now as the dreams slips away
You wake to the day
You wake to the light

Here as your dream falls away
Feel as the dark turns to day
Leave the shadows behind
And the dream called in blind
Turn into the light

Far off in the distance
A fire comes to life
A flicker of a flame breaks through the dark
Burning soft and bright
Dancing with the light
Awakening the Heavens and the Earth

Far across the ocean
A flame is rising high
Breaking through the shadows and the dark
Shining in the night
Rising with the light
Here to wake the Heavens and the Earth

Far off in the distance
A fire comes to life
A flicker of a flame breaks through the dark
Burning soft and bright
Dancing with the light
Awakening the Heavens and the Earth

Far across the ocean
A flame is rising high
Breaking through the shadows and the dark
Shining in the night
Rising with the light
Here to wake the Heavens and the Earth

Here to wake the Heavens and the Earth
To light

Nocturne lyrics - Celtic Woman

Now let the day just slip away
So the dark night may watch over you
Then the view silent, true
It embraces your heart and your soul, Nocturne

Never cry, never sigh
You don't have to wonder why
Always be, always see
Come and dream the night with me, Nocturne

Have no fear when the night draws near
And fills you with dreams and desire
Like a child asleep so warm, so deep
You will find me their waiting for you, Nocturne

We will fly, claim the sky
We don't have to wonder why
Always be, always see
Come and dream the night with me, Nocturne

Though darkness fades
It will give way
When the dark night delivers the day, Nocturne

Sailing lyrics - Celtic Woman

Sailing, I am sailing
Home again, 'cross the sea
I am sailing, stormy waters
To be near you, to be free

I am flying, I am flying
Like a bird, 'cross the sky
I am flying, passing high clouds
To be with you, who can say

Can you hear me, can you hear me
Through the dark night, far away?
I am dying, forever trying
To be with you, who can say
I am dying, forever trying
To be with you, who can say

We are sailing, we are sailing
Home again, 'cross the sea
We are sailing, stormy waters
To be near you, to be free
To be near you, to be near you, to be free.

The Water Is Wide lyrics - Celtic Woman

The water is wide I can't cross o'er
And I'ver have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I

A ship there is and she sails the sea
She's loaded deep as deep can be
But not so deep as the love I'm in
I know not if I sink or swim
But not so deep as the love I'm in
I know not if I sink or swim

[Bagpipe solo]

The water is wide I can't cross o'er
And I'ver have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
And both shall row, my love and I
My love and I
My love and I
My love and I

Bridge Over Troubled Water lyrics - Celtic Woman

When you're weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all

I'm on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you

I'll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on Silver Girl
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way

See how they shine (See how they shine)
If you need a friend (If you need a friend)
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
I will ease your mind.

Black Is The Colour lyrics - Celtic Woman


Black is the colour of my true love's hair.
Her lips are like some roses fair.
She has the sweetest face and the gentlest touch.
I love the ground whereon she stands.

I love my love and well she knows.
I love the ground whereon she goes.
And how I wish the day would come
When she and I can be as one.

Black is the colour of my true love's hair.
Her lips are like some roses fair.
She has the sweetest face and the gentlest touch.
I love the ground whereon she stands.
I love the ground whereon she stands.

Black is the colour of my true love's hair.
Her lips are like a rose so fair.
She has the sweetest face and the gentlest hands.
I love the ground whereon she stands.
I love the ground whereon she stands.
I love the ground whereon she stands.

Follow On lyrics - Celtic Woman

When all is said and done,
you are the only one

The shadows on the windows,
Chains upon the door
Sleepless nights been waiting for an answer
Dreams of heaven falling,
Panic in the town
Lowly men with fingers on the future

When all is said and done,
you are the only one

Follow on,
for the open road is waiting
Like the sun,
we will welcome what tomorrow has to bring
Be it fair or stormy weather
Take my hand,
and we'll walk the road together
I won't mind,
if it turns out that we never find the end
'Cause all I ask is that you want me as a friend

Days of beauty calling
Vanish through a haze
Lost inside some spiral with no ending
Still you bring me loving,
Free me with a touch
Lead me out to greet the calm decending

When all is said and done,
You are the only one

Follow on,
for the open road is waiting
Like the sun,
we will welcome what tomorrow has to bring
Be it fair or stormy weather
Take my hand,
and we'll walk the road together
I won't mind,
if it turns out that we never find the end
'Cause all I ask is that you want me as a friend

All I ask is that you want me as a friend
And we'll walk the road together
I won't mind,
if it turns out that we never find the end
'Cause all I ask is that you want me as a friend

All I ask is that you want me as a friend

When all is said and done,
You are the only one

Follow on.

Téir Abhaile Riú lyrics - Celtic Woman

Look how the light of the town
the lights of the town are shining now
Tonight I'll be dancing around
I'm off on the road to Galway now
Look how she's off on the town
She's off on a search for sailors though
There's fine fellas here to be found
She's never been one to stay at home

Home you'll go and it's there you'll stay
And you've work to do in the morning
Give up your dream of going away
Forget your sailors in Galway

Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú
Téir abhaile riú Mhearai
Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile
Mar tá do mhargadh déanta

Come now and follow me down
Down to the lights of Galway where
There's fine sailors walking the town
And waiting to meet the ladies there
Watch now he'll soon be along
He's finer than any sailor so
Come on now pick up your spoons
He's waiting to hear you play them WHOOO!

Here today and she's gone tomorrow
And next she's going to Galway
Jiggin' around and off to town
And won't be back until morning

Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú

Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile
Mar tá do mhargadh déanta

Off with a spring in my step
The sailors are searching Galway for
A young lady such as myself
For reels and jigs and maybe more
Stay here and never you mind
The lights of the town are blinding you
The sailors they come and they go
But listen to what's reminding you
Handsome men surrounding you
Dancing a reel around you

Home you'll go and it's there you'll stay
And you've work to do in the morning
Give up your dream of going away
Forget your sailors in Galway

Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú
Téir abhaile riú Mhearai
Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile
Mar tá do mhargadh déanta

Listen to the music flow
I'm falling for the flow of home
I'm home to dance till dawning

Mar tá do mhargadh déanta

Stay a while and we'll dance together now
As the light is falling
We'll reel away till the break of day
And dance together till morning

Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú

Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile
Mar tá do mhargadh déanta
Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú
Téir abhaile riú Mhearai
Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile
Mar tá do mhargadh déanta

You'll Never Walk Alone lyrics - Celtic Woman

[Verse]
When you walk through the storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of the lark

[Chorus]
Walk on, through the wind
Walk on, through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

[Verse]

[Chorus]

Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk, you'll never walk alone

A Spaceman Came Travelling lyrics - Celtic Woman

A spaceman came traveling on his ship from afar,
'Twas light years of time since his mission did start,
And over a village he halted his craft,
And it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star,

He followed a light, and came down to a shed,
Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed,
A bright light of silver shone round his head,
And he had the face of an angel, and they were afraid,

Then the stranger spoke, he said, "do not fear,
I come from a planet a long way from here,
And I bring a message for mankind to hear",
And suddenly the sweetest music, filled the air,

And it went la la la la la la la la la la,
La la la la la la laaaa, la la la la la la la la la la,
Peace and goodwill to all men, and love for the child,

This lovely music went trembling through the ground,
And many were awakened on hearing that sound,
And travelers on the road the village they found,
By the light of that ship in the sky,
Which shone all around,

And just before dawn, at the paling of the sky,
The stranger returned and said "now I must fly,
When two thousand years of your time has gone by,
This song will begin once again, to a baby's cry",

And it went la la la la la la la la la la,
La la la la la la laaaa, la la la la la la la la la la,
This song will begin once again, to a baby's cry,
And it went la la la la la la la la la la,
La la la la la la laaaa, la la la la la la la la la la,
Peace and goodwill to all men, and love for the child.

Songs From The Heart: Walking The Night / Give Me Your Hand lyrics - Celtic Woman


Walking the night without you
Skies too high without you
Losing my way on silent roads without you
Long lone streets before me
No voice in the night to warn me
No sound of our songs
To bring you to me
Losing my way
Stars send me astray
Walking the night without you
Blind in sight without you
No song I learn
No way I turn
Brings you closer to me
Searching for songs without you
Moon so cold without you
Longing to be near
Straining to hear
A song from you
Walking the stars without you

It's calling through the dark
It's reeling in the heart
The sound of the pipes on the wind
The strains of the song
Carry me along
Sending me dancing again

From above and below
A sound soft and low
And the music's flowing through me like before
And the song that we once knew
Brings me back to you
Pipes play within me once more

Your songs are in my heart
They like a dart
So come give me your hand
Now and we'll dance tonight
In the blazing light
And the years will fade away
Fade as you play
Play through the dark
Play in my heart

I'm spinning with the sound
There a drumming in the ground
And the humming of the song beneath my skin
And the world falls away
As I hear the pipes play
Sounding the song from within
From within

Your songs are in my heart
They like a dart
So come give me your hand
Now and we'll dance tonight
In the blazing light
And the years will fade away
Fade as you play
Play through the dark
Play in my heart

There's a drumming in the ground
And the humming of a sound
That we once knew

Come sing through the night
Come fill me with your light
Play a song sounding out through the years
Play it steady and strong
Fill me with song
Sending me dancing, sending me dancing
Dance as the pipes play away in my heart

Come give me your hand tonight
Your star is bright
Your songs are in my heart!

A Woman's Heart lyrics - Celtic Woman

[Chorus]
My heart is low, my heart is so low
As only a woman's heart can be
As only a woman's, as only a woman's
As only a woman's heart can know

The tears that drip
From my bewildered eyes
Taste of bitter sweet romance
You're still in my hopes
You're still on my mind
And even though I manage on my own

[Chorus]

When restless eyes
Reveal my troubled soul
And memories flood my weary heart
I mourn for my dreams
I mourn for my wasted love
And while I know that I'll survive alone

My heart is low, oh my heart is so low
As only a woman's heart can be
As only a woman's, as only a woman's
As only a woman's heart can know

[Chorus]

My heart is low, oh my heart is so low
As only a woman's heart can be
As only a woman's, as only a woman's
As only a woman's heart can know
Only a woman's heart can know.

The Parting Glass lyrics - Celtic Woman


Of all the money that e'er I had
I spent it in good company
And all the harm I've ever done
Alas it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To mem'ry now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be to you all

[Chorus]
So fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate’er befalls
And gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all

Of all the comrades that e'er I had
They're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They'd wish me one more day to stay
But since it fell unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all

Fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate’er befalls
And gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all

La La

But since it fell unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all

[Chorus]

Good night and joy be to you all.

Smile lyrics - Celtic Woman



Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
If you just smile
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use in crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
If you just smile, smile.


Green Grow The Rushes lyrics - Celtic Woman

There's not but care on every hand
In every hour that passes oh
What signifies the life of man
If it were not for the lassies oh

Green grow the rushes oh
Green grow the rushes oh
The sweetest hours that e'er I spent
Are spent among the lassies oh

The worldly race may riches chase
And riches still may fly them oh
And though at last they catch them fast
Their hearts can ne'er enjoy them oh

Green grow the rushes oh
Green grow the rushes oh
The sweetest hours that e'er I spent
Are spent among the lassies oh

The sweetest hours that e'er I spent
Are spent among the lassies oh

Green grow the rushes oh
Green grow the rushes oh
The sweetest hours that e'er I spent
Are spent among the lassies oh

Old nature swears the lovley dears
Her noblest work she classes oh
Her apprentice hand she tried on man
Then she made the lassies oh

Green grow the rushes oh
Green grow the rushes oh
The sweetest hours that e'er I spent
Are spent among the lassies oh

Green grow the rushes oh
Green grow the rushes oh
The sweetest hours that e'er I spent
Are spent among the lassies oh
Are spent among the lassies oh

When You Wish Upon A Star lyrics - Celtic Woman

When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you

If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do

Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Your secret longing

Like a blot out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
You dreams come true

Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Your secret longing

When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you

May all your dreams come true

Stay Awake lyrics - Celtic Woman

Stay awake, don't rest your head
Don't lie down upon your bed
As the moon drifts in the skies
Stay awake, don't close your eyes
Stay awake, don't close your eyes

Though the world is fast asleep
Though your pillow's soft and deep
You're not sleepy as you seem
Stay awake, don't nod and dream
Stay awake, don't nod and dream

Stay awake, don't rest your head
Don't lie down upon your bed
And while the moon drifts in the skies
Stay awake, don't close your eyes
Stay awake, don't close your eyes

Baby Mine lyrics - Celtic Woman

Baby mine don't you cry
Baby mine dry your eyes
Rest your head close to my heart
Never to part baby of mine

Little one when you play
Don't you mind what they say
Let those eyes sparkle and shine
Never a tear baby of mine

If they knew sweet little you
They'd end up loving you too
All those same people who scold you
What they'd give just for the right to hold you

From your head down to your toes
You're not much goodness knows
But you're so precious to me
Sweet as can be baby of mine

Goodnight My Angel lyrics - Celtic Woman

Goodnight my angel.
Time to close your eyes.
And save these questions for another day.
I think I know what you've been asking me.
I think you know what I've been trying to say.
I promise I would never leave you.
And you should always know, I never will be far away.
Goodnight my angel, now it's time to sleep.
And still so many things I want to say.
Remember all the songs you sang for me.
When we went sailing on a emerald bay.
And like a boat out on the ocean.
I'm rocking you to sleep.
The water is dark and deep inside this mother's heart.
You'll always be a part of me.
Goodnight my angel, now it's time to dream.
And dream how wonderfull your life will be.
Some day a child may cry and if you sing this lullaby.
Then in your heart there will always be a part of me.

Over The Rainbow lyrics - Celtic Woman

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why, then, oh why can't I?

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Suantrai lyrics - Celtic Woman

Seothó seothú ló
Seothó seothú ló
Seothú ló, seothú ló

Mo ghaol, mo ghrá 'gus m'eadúil thú
Mo stoirín úr is m'fhéirín thú
Mo mhacán álainn scéimheach thú
Chan fiú mé féin bheith 'd dháil

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

Seothó seothú ló
Seothó seothú ló
Seothú ló, seothú ló

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia (alleluia)

Seothó seothú ló
Seothú ló, seothú ló, seothú ló

Walking In The Air lyrics - Celtic Woman

[Intro:]
Walking in the air, floating the sky...
Floating in the air...

We're walking in the air
We're floating in the moonlit sky
The people far below are sleeping as we fly

We're holding very tight
I'm riding in the midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you

Far across the world
The villages go by like dreams
The rivers and the hills
The forest and the streams

Children gaze open mouthed
Taken by surprise
Nobody down below believes their eyes

We're surfing in the air
We're swimming in the frozen sky
We're drifting over icy
mountains floating by

Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep
Arousing of a mighty monster from its sleep

We're walking in the air
We're dancing in the midnight sky
And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly

The Blessing lyrics - Celtic Woman

In the morning when you rise
I bless the sun, I bless the skies
I bless your lips, I bless your eyes
My blessing goes with you

In the nighttime when you sleep
Oh I bless you while a watch I keep
As you lie in slumber deep
My blessing goes with you

This is my prayer for you
There for you, ever true
Each, every day for you
In everything you do

And when you come to me
And hold me close to you
I bless you
And you bless me, too

When your weary heart is tired
If the world would leave you uninspired
When nothing more of love's desired
My blessing goes with you

When the storms of life are strong
When you're wounded, when you don't belong
When you no longer hear my song
My blessing goes with you

This is my prayer for you
There for you, ever true
Each, every day for you
In everything you do

And when you come to me
And hold me close to you
I bless you
And you bless me, too

I bless you
And you bless me, too

Brahms' Lullaby lyrics - Celtic Woman

Roses whisper good night 'neath silv'ry light
Asleep in the dew they hide from our view
When the dawn peepeth through God will wake them and you
When the dawn peepeth through God will wake them and you

Slumber sweetly my dear for the angels are near
To watch over you the silent night through
And to bear you above to the dreamland of love
And to bear you above to the dreamland of love

Hush Little Baby lyrics - Celtic Woman

Hush little baby don't say a word mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird don't sing mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring
So hush little baby don't you cry your papa loves you and so do I
So hush little baby don't you cry your papa loves you and so do I

Fields Of Gold lyrics - Celtic Woman

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Among the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold

So she took her love for to gaze awhile
Among the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
And you can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold

I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We will walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold

I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We will walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
As you lie in fields of gold

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Among the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold

Amazing Grace lyrics - Celtic Woman


Amazing Grace, How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
T'was blind but now I see

T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear
And Grace, my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

Through many dangers, toils and snares
We have already come.
T'was grace that brought us safe thus far
And grace will lead us home,
And grace will lead us home

Amazing grace, Howe Sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
T'was blind but now i see

Was blind, but now I see.

Níl Sé'n Lá lyrics - Celtic Woman

Chuaigh mé isteach i dteach aréir
is d'iarr mé cairde ar mhnaoi an leanna.
Is é dúirt sí liom "Ní bhfaighidh tú deor.
Buail an bóthar is gabh abhaile

I came by a house last night
And told the woman I am staying
I said to her:
"The moon is bright and my fiddles tuned for playing"

Tell me that the night is long
Tell me that the moon is glowing
Fill my glass I'll sing a song
And will start the music flowing

Never mind the rising light
There's no sign of day or dawning
In my heart it's still the night
And we'll stay here till the morning

[Chorus:]
Níl sé ina lá, níl a ghrá,
níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go maidin,
níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go fóill,
solas ard atá sa ghealaigh.

It's not day nor yet awhile
I can see the starlight shining
Níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go fóill,
solas ard atá sa ghealaigh.

Fill the glasses one more time
And never heed the empty bottle
Turn the water into wine
And turn the party up full throttle

Don't go out into the cold
Where the wind and rain are blowing
For the fire is flaming gold
And in here the music's flowing

[Chorus]

Tell me that the night is long
Tell me that the moon is gleaming
Fill my glass, I’ll sing a song
And we'll keep the music streaming
Until all the songs are sung

[Chorus 2x]

[Drum Solo]

[Chorus 2x]

My Lagan Love lyrics - Celtic Woman

Where Lagan stream sings lullaby
There blows a lily fair
The twilight gleam is in her eye
The night is on her hair
And like a love-sick lennan-shee
She has my heart in thrall
Nor life I owe nor liberty
With love is lord of all.

And sometimes when the beetle's horn
Hath lulled the eve to sleep
I steal unto her shieling lorn
And thru the dooring peep.
There on the cricket's singing stone,
She stirs the bogwood fire,
And hums in sad sweet undertones
The song of heart's desire

The song of heart's desire.

When You Believe lyrics - Celtic Woman

Many nights we've prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopefull song
We barely understood

Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains long
Before we knew we could

There can be miracles, when you believe
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe

In this time of fear
When prayers so often prove(s) in vain
Hope seems like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away

Yet now I'm standing here
My heart's so full I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say

There can be miracles, when you believe
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe

They don't (always happen) when you ask
(Oh)
And it's easy to give in to your fears
(Oh...Ohhhh)
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see your way straight throught the rain
(A small but) still resilient voice
Says (hope is very near)
(Ohhh)

There can be miracles
(Miracles)
When you believe
(Lord, when you believe)
Though hope is frail
(Though hope is frail)
It's hard to kill
(Hard to kill, Ohhh)
Who knows what miracles, you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will (somehow, somehow, somehow)
somehow you will
You will when you believe

You will when you
You will when you believe
Just believe...in your heart
Just believe
You will when you believe

The New Ground - Isle Of Hope, Isle Of Tears lyrics - Celtic Woman

On The First Day On January,
Eighteen Ninety-Two,
They Opened Ellis Island And They Let
The People Through.
And The First To Cross The Treshold
Of That Isle Of Hope And Tears,
Was Annie Moore From Ireland
Who Was All Of Fifteen Years.

[Chorus:]
Isle Of Hope, Isle Of Tears,
Isle Of Freedom, Isle Of Fears,
But It's Not The Isle You Left Behind.
That Isle Of Hunger, Isle Of Pain,
Isle You'll Never See Again
But The Isle Of Home Is Always On Your Mind.

In A Little Bag She Carried
All Her Past And History,
And Her Dreams For The Future
In The Land Of Liberty.
And Courage Is The Passport
When Your Old World Disappears
But There's No Future In The Past
When You're Fifteen Years

[Chorus]

When They Closed Down Ellis Island
In Nineteen Fourty-Three,
Seventeen Million People
Had Come There For Sanctuary.
And In Springtime When I Came Here
And I Stepped Onto It's Piers,
I Thought Of How It Must Have Been
When You're Fifteen Years.

[Chorus]

Non C'è Più lyrics - Celtic Woman



Onda blu, dove vai
Non lo chiedero
Cio che tu perderai
Non lo cerchero

Cerchi di sfociare
Corri sempre giu
Quando trov il mare
Fiume non c'è piu

Wave of blue, long ago
Nothing but a stream
Rushing through mountain dew
To the sea's cold gleam
Nothing but a stream
Towards the ocean dream

Nata dal cielo
Day by day, deeper now
Al di là per quel
Songo sempre piu

Al di là delle colline
Scorri oltre il confine
Fiume non c'è piu

Rolling wave, calling now
Voices clear and pure
Find the way home somehow
Find the way for sure

Quando vuoi sboccare
Scorri sempre giu
Finché trov il mare
Finché non sei piu

Wave of green, wave of blue
Flowing home
Non sei piu

The Moon's A Harsh Mistress lyrics - Celtic Woman

See her as she flies
Golden sails across the sky
Close enough to touch
But careful if you try
Though she looks as warm as gold
The moon's a harsh mistress
The moon can be so cold

Once the sun did shine
And lord it felt so fine
The moon a phantom rose
Through the mountains and the pine
And then the darkness fell
The moon's a harsh mistress
It's hard to love her well

I fell out of her eyes
I fell out of her heart
I fell down on my face, yes I did
And I tripped and I missed my star
And I fell and fell alone
The moon's a harsh mistress
The sky is made of stone

The moon's a harsh mistress
She's hard to call your own

You'll Be In My Heart lyrics - Celtic Woman


Come stop your crying
It will be all right
Just take my hand Hold it tight

I will protect you
from all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry

For one so small,
you seem so strong
My arms will hold you,
keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry

'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more

You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart, always

Why can't they understand
the way we feel
They just don't trust
what they can't explain
I know we're different but,
deep inside us
We're not that different at all

And you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more

Don't listen to them
'Cause what do they know
We need each other,
to have, to hold
They'll see in time
I know

When destiny calls you
You must be strong
I may not be with you
But you've got to hold on
They'll see in time
I know
We'll show them together

'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on,
Now and forever more

Oh, you'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be in my heart, always
Always

Goodnight My Angel lyrics - Celtic Woman

Goodnight my angel.
Time to close your eyes.
And save these questions for another day.
I think I know what you've been asking me.

And you should always know, I never will be far away.

And still so many things I want to say.

Goodnight my angel, now it's time to dream.
And dream how wonderfull your life will be.
Some day a child may cry and if you sing this lullaby.
Then in your heart there will always be a part of me.

Galway Bay lyrics - Celtic Woman

If you ever go across the sea to Ireland,
then maybe at the closing of your day,
you can sit and watch the moon rise over Claddagh,
and see the sun go down on Galway Bay.

Just to hear again the ripple of the trout stream,
The women in the meadow making hay,
just to sit beside the turf fire in a cabin,
and watch the barefoot gosoons as they play.

ooooh......

For the breezes blowing o'er the sea's from Ireland,
Are perfumed by the heather as they blow,
And the women in the uplands digging praties,
Speak a language that the strangers do not know.

Yet the strangers came and tried to teach us their ways,
And they scorned us just for being what we are,
But they might as well go chasin after moon beams,
or light a penny candle from a star.

And if there's gonna be a life here after,
And faith somehow I'm sure there's gonna be,
I will ask my God to let me make my Heaven,
In that dear land across the Irish sea.

I will ask my God to let me make my Heaven,
In my dear land across the Irish sea.

oooooooh......

In my dear land across the Irish sea.

O America! lyrics - Celtic Woman

O, America you're calling,
I can hear you calling me...
You are calling me to be true to thee,
True to thee... I will be.

O, America no weeping,
Let me heal your wounded heart.
I will keep you in my keeping,
Till there be... a new start.

And I will answer you, and I will take your hand,
And lead you... to the sun...
And I will stand by you...do all that I can do,
And we will be... as one.

O, America I hear you,
From your prairies to the sea,
From your mountains grand, and all through this land,
You are beautiful to me.

And... O, America you're calling,
I can hear you calling me...
You are calling me to be true to thee,
True to thee... I will be.

And I will answer you, and I will take your hand,
And lead you... to the sun...
And I will stand by you... do all that I can do,
And we will be...as one.

O, America you're calling...
I will ever answer thee.

Carolina Rua lyrics - Celtic Woman

Stories never end till' they come to conclusions
Oh, Carolina Rua has a hand in my confusion.
Waits for me to choose which quarter to bend in
To susie-make-me-blue or the readhead I'm attending.

Now Carolina Rua has my heart and all I want to do
Is go down the windy road where my Carolina goes.
Go down the crooked road where Carolina goes to school
Mo Carolina Rua do you love me tell me true
Tell me...

Standing on three queens, I thought the game was over
Then, from the blue Carolina's at my shoulder
Oh, laughter in her eyes and a smile that touches all the guys
Go down the windy road where my Carolina goes
Go down the crooked road where Carolina goes to school
Mo Carolina Rua do you love me tell me true
Tell me...

Oh laughter in her eyes and a smile that touches all the guys
Mo Carolina Rua do you love me tell me true tell me true

[fiddle solo]

Oh, Carolina Rua has my heart and all I want to do
Is go down the windy road where my Carolina goes.
Go down the crooked road where Carolina goes to school
Mo Carolina Rua do you love me tell me true
Tell me...

A Spaceman Came Travelling lyrics - Celtic Woman

A spaceman came traveling on his ship from afar,
'Twas light years of time since his mission did start,
And over a village he halted his craft,
And it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star,

He followed a light, and came down to a shed,
Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed,
A bright light of silver shone round his head,
And he had the face of an angel, and they were afraid,

Then the stranger spoke, he said, "do not fear,
I come from a planet a long way from here,
And I bring a message for mankind to hear",
And suddenly the sweetest music, filled the air,

And it went la la la la la la la la la la,
La la la la la la laaaa, la la la la la la la la la la,
Peace and goodwill to all men, and love for the child,

This lovely music went trembling through the ground,
And many were awakened on hearing that sound,
And travelers on the road the village they found,
By the light of that ship in the sky,
Which shone all around,

And just before dawn, at the paling of the sky,
The stranger returned and said "now I must fly,
When two thousand years of your time has gone by,
This song will begin once again, to a baby's cry",

And it went la la la la la la la la la la,
La la la la la la laaaa, la la la la la la la la la la,
This song will begin once again, to a baby's cry,
And it went la la la la la la la la la la,
La la la la la la laaaa, la la la la la la la la la la,
Peace and goodwill to all men, and love for the child.
