Analysis of Mo Ghrá Rúndiamhair



Mo Ghrá Rúndiamhair
(My Mystery Love)
[Gaelic - Irish]

Mo ghrá rúndiamhair
Oh, how I feel your spirit in the air.

Gratuitous afflictions, I fear.
Haunting my dreams, you reappear
Audacious is the desire of love unleashed you see.

Ruminess in thought I long to run wild.
United soul - spirit, you - me, such as a child.
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide - fleeting...
Desires love, hauntingly repeating...
I lie awake my soul is restless.
Amid the night stars, God Blessed us...
Mo ghrá rúndiamhair
Haunting my being with care.
Abiding the nature of desire
I succumb to thee I admire.
Reality is an Abyss of temptations for sleep, I tire...
