õ oÎche go hoÎche, mo thuras, From night to night, my journey,
An bealach fada romham. The long pilgrimage before me.

Book of Days (English Version)
One day, one night, one moment
My dreams could be tomorrow
One step, one fall, one falter
East or West,
Over earth or by ocean
One way to be my journey
This way could be my
Book of Days
No day, no night, no moment
Can hold me back from trying
One flag, one fall, one falter
I'll find my day maybe
Far and Away
Far and Away
One day, one night one moment
With a dream to be leaving
One step, one fall, one falter
Find a new world across a wide ocean
This way became my journey
This day brings together
Far and Away
This day brings together
Far and Away
Far and Away.
The song "Back Home" by Gold Panda features a sample from the Enya's album "Shepherd Moons" called "Book Of Days", which serves as the chorus of the song. The lyrics of the song seem to be about a personal journey of self-discovery and exploration, both physically and mentally. The opening lines of "From night to night, my journey, the long pilgrimage before me" suggest a sense of wandering without a specific end goal in mind. The following lines "From day to day, my journey, the stories that will be forever" adds to this idea of constant exploration and collecting experiences that will last a lifetime.
The chorus part “One day, one night, one moment, my dreams could be tomorrow” appears to be an ode to the future, dreams and possibilities even in the midst of life's challenges, regardless of one's location or current circumstance. The lines that read “I'll find my day maybe, Far and Away, Far and Away” impose the idea of being hopeful and determined to find oneself, depicting the physical distance as well as the personal growth that one may go through in the process.
Overall, the song “Back Home” with its beautiful melodic structure and the inclusion of Enya's "Book of Days" chorus creates a feeling of nostalgia and deep-seated emotion. It encourages self-discovery, embracing change, and appreciating the journey itself as much as the destination.
