Lament for a Warrior (Irish Lament Song) | The Melancholic Celt

Описание: "Lament for a Warrior" is a rewritten version of the Irish lament "Where Are You (Tonight I Wonder)"

Lyrics:
Where are you tonight, I wonder?
And where will you be tonight when I cry?
Will sleep find you safely?
As alone I can't slumber?
Or will you welcome in the morning
At Mac An Duine’s side?

(Mac An Duine is Scots Gaelic for Son of Man, which is a name of Jesus.)

How easy for your life to slip under
And leave me with a shadow the sun can't dispel
I have yearned for us a home of love and family
But I can no longer see you through the gathering fog

Where are you tonight, I wonder?
And where will you be tonight when I cry?
Will sleep find you safely?
As alone I can't slumber?
Or will you welcome in the morning
At Mac An Duine’s side?

I look through the mist at a world that has fallen
The crying in the night is the one thing I know
Have I lost with you my heart, though my feet will keep going
I have trusted in the King, but I'd still like to know

Where are you tonight, I wonder?
Where will you be tonight when I cry?
Will sleep find you safely?
Whilst I alone can't slumber?
or Will you welcome in the morning
At Mac An Duine’s side?

If there's weeping, one morn it will be gone
If there beats a broken-heart, it's there love truly dwells
And God will never let us go, our future is safe
But, oh, in the meantime, I'd still like to know

Where are you tonight, I wonder?
Where will you be tonight when I cry?
Will sleep find you safely
Whilst I alone can't slumber?
or Will you welcome in the morning
At Mac An Duines side?
