Eimear Quinn HIBERNIA

HIBERNIA performed by Eimear Quinn and the RTE Concert Orchestra.

From the album ÉRIU

Taking Ireland’s oldest poem as inspiration; The Song of Amergin, this is an ‘ode to Ireland’ invoking the ancient images of the poem, but also the historical latin names for Ireland.
The lyrics, in 3 languages, weave a path from ancient to current times. The song speaks to the intrinsic human spirit present in us all; a core strength exclusively owned by the individual that can can never be taken or broken.
Composed with Sarah Class, we set out to weave an anthem of enduring strength, rich heritage and majestic resilience. It is from the album Ériu and recorded with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra. I hope you enjoy!

HIBERNIA
Music: Sarah Class Lyrics: Eimear Quinn

Many have sailed to the land of Hibernia,
Many have taken the spoils
Over the waves to the land of Hibernia
Coming to conquer our soil
There is a people in the land of Hibernia
Crushed on the stem like a rose
But we are the queens and the kings of Hibernia
And we have this song in our souls.

I am the wind blowing upon the sea
I am the wave roaring up from the deep
(Insula Nobilis, Insula Fatalis, Insula Sanctorum, Insula Factorum Insula Nobilis, Insula Fatalis, Insula terra final)

Land of the Druid and land of the Dreamer
Land of the scholars of old
Land of the poet and land of the warrior
Eriu and Banba and Foldha
There is a people in the land of Hibernia
Rising when battle drums roll
For we are the queens and the kings of Hibernia
And we have this song in our soul.

I am the wind blowing upon the sea
I am the wave roaring up from the deep
(Insula Nobilis, Insula Fatalis, Insula Sanctorum, Insula Factorum Insula Nobilis, Insula Fatalis, Insula terra final)
