lirik lagu victor young – the isle of innisfree (vocal)
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 feel its wonder or its laughter.
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 watch the rivers laughing as they flow.
and then into a humble shack i wander —
my dear old 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 soon i’m back to stern reality.
but though they pave the footways here with gold dust,
i still would choose the isle of inisfree.
– gaelic words meaning “love of my heart”
