Hiraeth lyrics

Tell me, men of wisdom, what is "hiraeth"?
Of what is it made that it doesn't wear away in time?

Gold and silver wear away, so do velvet and satin,
Every material wears away in time, yet, hiraeth stays forever.

Powerful hiraeth - cruel hiraeth - breaks my heart every day
When I'm deep asleep at night, hiraeth wakes me.

Hiraeth, hiraeth, please go away!
Stop oppressing me so much,
Please just fade from my life
And let me sleep a little.

English translation of the Welsh words to "Hiraeth" as sung by Bryn Terfel. "Hiraeth" means longing or homesickness
