Farewell
Inishmore Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

to say my last goodbyes.
So farewell we'll meet again
somewhere, some when, somehow.
For life it is like a river
and a river not always gentle flows.
But I know in a foreign place
we will meet again some when,
yes we'll meet again some when.

I like it. I have always like Arthur´s legends, and Galahad called my atention. He was the most honest knight in Camelot, and he was able to have the Saint Grial.

Fiquei apaixonado por esta ilha. Espero regressar em breve para passar uns bons momentos em paz interior para recarregar baterias. Aconselho a todos a fazer uma visita.
