M?ire Brennan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is fearr liom mó sháigh fairsinge na gorta
Is fearr liom fhéin síocháin na cogadh
Is lig domh mo shaol a chonaí is
a choinneáil slán
Is mór an trua é is mór an trua é
Is mór an trua é trualliú na farraige
Is mór an trua é trualliú na farraige
Is fearr liom fhéin síocháin na cogadh
Is lig domh mo shaol a chonaí is a
choinneáil slán
Is mór an trua é is mór an trua é
Is mór an trua é trualliú na farraige
Look around and see the choice you've made
Turn around see clouded spaces
Hear the cries of future darkness
Time is running out our life to live
Why turn a blind eye Why can't you hear us
Too late too late la la la low
Too late to defend us
Why can't you hear us
Hear us hear us
Seoithín seó mó chroí go deo
ag teacht's ag imeacht
Seothín seó mó chroí go deo
Ag teacht's ag imeacht
Fearg...Scrios...Crá
Is mór an trua é truailliú na farraige
Is fearr liom mó sháigh fairsinge na gorta
Is fearr liom fhéin síocháin na cogadh
Is lig domh mo shoal a chonaí
is a choinneáil slán
Is mór an trua é is mór an trua é
Is mór an trua é trualliú na farraige
Look around and see the choice you've made
Turn around see clouded spaces
Hear the cries of future darkness
Time is running out our life to live
The lyrics to Máire Brennan's song "Heroes" discuss the tragedy and devastation caused by the pollution and destruction of the ocean. The first stanza explains the immense sadness that comes with the pollution of the sea, and how it is better to have peace than to have war. The chorus repeats the statement that the pollution of the sea is a great sadness. The second verse asks why people can't see what is happening and how our time to live is running out. The bridge then repeats the statement that the pollution of the sea is a great tragedy and urges people to hear the cries of those impacted by this destruction.

lyrics--
A wall strong in numbers
Burns the midnight candle
The brave arm in arm
Stands before them now
Up against the wind
Old ways up against the wind
The game is in their hands
Calling out the color
Togetherness, their courage
Recognize the power
Make a stand before them
Old ways follows the beaten track
Against the wind
Against the wind
Defying their leaders
Holding out for free will
The strong dare to echo
Nothing can stop
Nothing can stop us now
Up against the wind
Old ways up against the wind
The game is in your hands
Reach for every moment
In rising generations
Capturing the change
Make a stand before them
Old ways follows the beaten track
Against the wind..

A great, sadly overlooked album, and deserving of more praise and attention. Maire (backed by her sisters) sings with an empowered, raw emotional edge that conveys a hard-fought wisdom and a strength to persevere.

I played this for a group of black blues musicians at an after hours party in Seattle, blew them away. Couldn't believe the depth, range and sheer power of vocals and instrumentation. Opened their eyes and minds a bit that night. Like, yeah, dude, Irish can KICK IT!
@J.Chapman-Drums
This track is fantastic. The drums sound absolutely amazing!
@tubellarbells
Hipnotic energy. I'm not irish but I can sense the power of the simplicity in Maire's music. Thanks Maire and Clannad, forever in my mental jukebox.

Maybe you were never up against the wind... and I think you’re missing the point slightly anyway. Struggle is a necessary part of life. ... the song is a motif for many situations and can be read across a multitude of narratives. Personally it speaks to me and makes me feel good. On the other hand some ‘peace’ advocates I’ve encountered have turned out to be the most controlling / naive people I’ve ever met.
@AidaRaven
This song makes me want to fight the good fight. Damn, this is empowering as hell.
