“I stand on a land of roses...”
Seo amhrán a thig Risteárd O Cearú, garsún sgoile as Chairrig Cearfionn, Thúgam óna athair Pádraigh atá 50 blian.i
I stand on a land of roses,
I dream of a land of snow,
Where you and I were happy,
In days long long ago,
Nightingales on the branches,
Stars in the magic skies,
Could I only hear you singing
Could I only see your smiles.Chorus.Speak, speak to me Dora,
Speak once again and be,
Child of my dreams, light of my life
Be an angel of love to me.ii
I stand once again on those Northlands
But in silence and in shame,
Your grave is my only landmark
Friends have forgotten my name.
It's a tale that's true and older,
Than any the sages tell
I loved you in life too little
I love you in death too well.Chorus.
