Description

Mae Govannen!

Can meleth dartha i nûr im a le?
A bedithon aníron, meleth nîn an le?
Ú-estel linnad a linnas bain
Hen lín thind — gorth nîn e-galu
Na falas darthon, galu môr lín na nîn
Man tíra meleth nîn na gaear?
Nathon, a caeda vi e-gloss bain?

Could love bridge the distance between you and me
And could I even dare, my love for you, to speak.
No melody beautiful enough to sing
Eyes of grey I am too scared to see
At the shore I stand, waves remind me of thee
What could send my love out to the sea?
Could I jump and be indulged completely
