Hireath Am Feirion

$5.00

Hireath Am Feirion is a gorgeous tune from Wales about a homesick sailor who longs to see Wales again. The term “hiraeth” is a word for a feeling that combines regret, nostalgia, stoicism and yearning all in one.

He's longing to go back to a (now historic) county in northwestern Wales, which is called Meirionethshire in English.

I managed to find a translation of this song into English:

There is a mountain in the sea which hides Meirioneth

I had sight of it once only before it broke my heart

Wind from the sea and sun from the mountain

Grey rocks instead of trees

And gulls instead of people

I will make a boat of the oak of love

And its mast, the wood of experience

And put longing in its sail to make it go

Wave to wave to my own land
