Hiraeth Am Feirion

Although little-known, this Welsh melody is hauntingly beautiful. The ‘hiraeth’ of the title is a Welsh word which can be roughly translated as ‘longing’ or ‘nostalgia’, specifically for one’s homeland or birthplace. The title translates approximately therefore as ‘Longing for Merionethshire’ (one of the ancient counties of North Wales).”
The lyrics in English:
There is a mountain in the sea which hides Meirioneth
I had sight of it once only before it broke my heart
Wind from the sea and sun from the mountain
Grey rocks instead of trees
And gulls instead of people
I will make a boat of the oak of love
And its mast, the wood of experience
And put longing in its sail to make it go
Wave to wave to my own land
