The Isle Of Innisfree
Daniel O'Donnell
(John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara 주연 영화 Quiet Man Ost.-1952 )
I've met some folks who say that I'm a dreamer,
And I've no doubt there's truth in what they say,
But sure a body's bound to be a dreamer
When all the things he loves are far away.
And precious things are dreams unto an exile.
They take him o'er the land across the sea --
Especially when it happens he's an exile
From that dear lovely Isle of Inisfree.
And when the moonlight peeps across the rooftops
Of this great city, wondrous though it be,
I scarcely see the beauty of their magic
I'm once again back home in Inisfree.
I wander o'er green hills through dreamy valleys
And find a peace no other land could know.
I hear the birds make music fit for angels
And see the rivers laughing as they flow.
And then into a humble shack I wander --
My home sweet home -- and tenderly behold
The folks I love around the turf fire gathered.
On bended knees ,their rosary is told.
But dreams don't last --
Though dreams are not forgotten --
And when we're back to stern reality.
But though they pave the footpaths here with gold dust,
I still would choose my Isle of Inisfree.
I still would choose my Isle of Inisfree.
