An t-Iasgair (the fisherman) Songtext

von Runrig

Worum geht es in dem Song?

"An t-Iasgair (der Fischer)" von Runrig erzählt die Geschichte eines Fischers, der sein Zuhause und seine Familie verläs...

There he stood on the shore
With the world in his eyes
Then he left his home
And his family behind
And he cast his nets out
On the wide open seas
Where warm winds cover
The face of the deep

The shadows stretch out
Through the street of the town
And the dark lonely night
Sets it's snares all around
But the boats sail at dawn
Under confident skies
Where the men of the island
Leave to follow their lives

I remember the night
When the going got rough
How you fought for that sea
You were so worthy of
Though the storm raged and tore
Like merciless fire
All you ever felt
Was peace of mind
