How Can I Keep From Singing?
My life goes on in endless song
Through all the tumult and the strife
While though the tempest loudly roars,
No storm can shake my inmost calm
Vocals
When tyrants tremble in their fear
In prison cell and dungeon vile,

…Afer Ventus…
With all you ever knew–
They say the sky high above
Is Caribbean blue…
If every man is true,
Do I believe the sky above
Is Caribbean blue…
…Zephryus…
If all you dreamed was new,
Imagine Sky high above
In Caribbean blue…
English
Above Earth’s lamentations.
I hear the real though far–off hymn
That hails a new Creation.
I hear it’s music ringing.
It sounds an echo in my soul.
How can I keep from singing?
I hear the truth; it liveth.
And though the darkness ‘round me close,
Songs in the night it giveth.
While to that rock I’m clinging.
Since love is Lord of Heaven and Earth,
How can I keep from singing?
And hear their death knell ringing,
When friends rejoice both far and near,
How can I keep from singing?
Our thoughts to them are winging.
When friends by shame are undefiled,
How can I keep from singing?

English
Are you near if rain should fall?
Am I to believe
You will rise to calm the storm?
For so great a treasure words will never do.
Surely, if this is, promises are mine to give you, mine to give…
Wish the Moon to fall and alter our tomorrow.
I should know
Heaven has Her way.
–each one given memories to own.
Should you move both Earth and Sea.
Angeles, I could feel
All those dark clouds disappearing…
Comes an angel to their keep.
Surely, if this is, promises are mine to give you, mine to give…
English & Irish Gaelic
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.
An bealach fada romham.
Ó oíche go hoíche, mo thuras,
Na scéalta na mbeidh a choích’.
Can hold me back from trying.
I’ll fly, I’ll fall, I’ll falter:
I’ll find my day may be far and away.
Far and Away
With a dream to be leaving.
One step, one fall, one falter,
And a new Earth, across a wide Ocean:
This way became my journey.
This day ends together, far and away.
Far and Away!
English
I run back to my mother’s arms.
One last hold and then it’s over.
You wave a kiss to say goodbye.
Feel the Sky fall down upon me!
A child with promises.
All I have
Are miles full of promises of home.
My train moves on; you’re gone from view.
Now I must wait until it’s over.
A child with promises.
All I have
Are miles full of promises of home.
It seems so long: Eternity,
But I must wait until it’s over.
English
With vassels and serfs at my side
And of all who assembled within those walls
That I was the hope and the pride.
I had riches all too great to count
And a high ancestral name,
But I also dreamt which pleased me most
That you loved me still the same,
That you loved me, you loved me still the same,
That you loved me, you loved me still the same.
That knights upon bended knee,
And with vows no maiden’s heart could withstand,
They pledged their faith to me,
And I dreamt that one of the noble host
Came forth my hand to claim,
But I also dreamt which charmed me most
That you loved me still the same,
That you loved me, you loved me still the same,
that you loved me, you loved me still the same.
