Database: Ciara's Song of the Lia Fáil

(Gaelic)
Lia Fáil

Cúig cinn de bhealaí a cheanglaíonn thú Ceithre cinn de ghaotha a bheannaíonn thú Trí cinn de chloigne a phógann thú Dhá sháil chinniúnacha a aireoidh do bhéiceach - fúthu Ar Chnoc na Teamhrach ina sheasamh, Lia Fáil Ar Chnoc na Teamhrach ina sheasamh, Lia Fáil

Mise croí chloiche Inis Fáil An croí a bhfuil rúin ar eolas ann i bhfolach An croí aithníonn gach dúíl is díth An file nach gcanann ach, faoi dhá sháil fhíor-rí

Canaim amhrán Inis Fáil Do mhian Éireann go fíor, Brisfidh mé mo thost Cluinfear mo bhúir sa ghort torthúil Ín anáil na síochánam sa ghleo tairbheach

Is iad a thug chun a' chnoic mé, A bhréadaigh mo thoil don chúig Is iad a dúirt an tír a chosaint Agus dán Inis Fáil a stiúradh

Stone of Destiny

Five are the roads that bind you Four are the winds that bless you Three are the heads that kiss you Two fated heels that shall feel you roar - beneath them On Tara Hill standing, the one Lia Fáil On Tara Hill standing, the one Lia Fáil

I am the stone heart of Inis Fáil The heart that knows secrets that it hides away The heart that knows all it desires and needs The singer that only sings Under two heels of true kings

I sing the song of Inis Fáil For Ireland's true will, I shall break my still You'll hear me resound in the bounteous fields In the breaths of peace, in the turmoil that yields

Tuatha Dé Danann - brought me here from afar To the hill, where they braided my will 'to the five Tuatha Dé Danann - bid me warden the land and as long as I stand, steer the fate of Inis Fáil
