Siúl tríd na stoirmeacha. Walking through the storms
Dul tríd na stoirmeacha. Going through the storms

Cá fhad é ó How far is it from
An tús don stoirm. The beginning of the storm
An tús go deiradh. The start to the end

Tóg do chroísa. Take your beloved

Turas mór. Long Journey
Tor tríd na Stoirmeacha. Heavy through the storm

Turas fada. Long Journey
Amharc tríd na Stoirmeacha. Look through the Storm

Translation by Fidelma McGinn.
Storms in Africa (Part II)

Though I walk through
warm sands in Africa
winds will grow soon
to storms in Africa.

How far to go
I cannot say.
How many more
will journey this way

Dark skies fall on
black earth and ivory.
Far from your sun
clouds now close over me.

How far to go
I cannot say.
How many more
will journey this way

Storms have come!
rains wash the earth away
Dark skies fall down
into another day.
Rains have now come
from storms in Africa
Time will go on
through Storms in Africa
