Daan

Lhieggan Baarle

When the summer day is over

And its busy cares have flown,

I sit beneath the starlight

With a weary heart, alone,

Then rises like a vision,

Sparkling bright in nature's glee,

My own dear Ellan Vannin

With its green hills by the sea.

Then I hear the wavelets murmur

As they kiss the fairy shore,

Then beneath the em'rald waters

Sings the mermaid as of yore,

And the fair Isle shines with beauty

As in youth it dawned on me,

My own dear Ellan Vannin

With its green hills by the sea.

Then mem'ries sweet and tender

Come like music's plaintive flow,

Of the hearts in Ellan Vannin

That lov'd me long ago,

And I give with tears and blessings,

My own fondest thoughts to thee,

My own dear Ellan Vannin

With its green hills by the sea.

Bun:

Tra ta'n laa souree ec jerrey

As imneaghyn lhie ersooyl

Nish my smooinaght share dhyt hene ;

My heer deyr, shenn Ellan Vannin,

Lesh croink glassey rish y cheayn.

When the summer day is over,

Its busy cares have flown,

I will sit beneath the starlight,

With a weary heart alone.

Then it rises like a vision

Sparkling bright it shines for me

My own dear Ellan Vannin

With its green hills by the sea

Let me hear the ocean murmur

Let me watch your stormy sky

Then above the emerald waters

Sings the seagull as she flies

Then arising like a vision

Sparkling bright it shines for me

My own dear Ellan Vannin

With its green hills by the sea

And in all my times of sorrow

And on some lonely shore

I'll go back to Ellan Vannin

To my childhood days once more
