Voice Of An Angel
Mae Hiraeth yn y Mor(There's Longing In the Sea)
There is longing in the sea and the long mountain
There is longing in silence and in sing
In the murmur of waters on an eternal journey
In the hours of the sunset and in the flames of the fire
But it is milder in the wind that his complaint is made
And saddest in the sedge that he complains the wind
Awakening an echo echo in the rush
And in the heart, a reminder of you before
As when you listen in the long day
By the cock in the nearby perch< br/>Awakens song after clear song
From the nearby gardens, until from the hillside over there
The last one of his speech is heard
And the sad sweetness of the distance in his voice< br/>There's longing in the sea and mountains gray
There's longing too in silence and in song
In mum' ring waters on their endless way
At sunset hours and firelight's flames among
But fondest in the wind it makes it moan
And saddest in the sedge the wind replies
Awaking echo's echo with its tone
And mem'ry's mem'ry in the hearts deep sighs
As when one hearkens to the chanticleer
At hand with eager song at break of day
Evoking answer upon answer clear
From nearby gardens, till form far away
A last lone songster lifts his voice on high
With distance's sad longing in its cry
