How Can I Keep from Singing


Enya

My life goes on in endless (nekonečný) song
above earth's lamentations (nářek),
I hear the real, though far-off hymn
that hails (zdravit, salutovat) a new creation (stvoření).


Through all the tumult and the strife (rozruchy a spory)
I hear it's music ringing,
It sounds an echo in my soul.
How can I keep from singing?


While though the tempest (bouře) loudly roars (burácí, kvílí),
I hear the truth, it liveth (živ, život).
And though the darkness 'round me close,
songs in the night it giveth (dává).


No storm can shake my inmost calm (klid),
while to that rock I'm clinging (přiléhat).
Since love is lord of heaven and earth
how can I keep from singing?


When tyrants (tyrani) tremble in their fear
and hear their death knell (umíráček) ringing,
when friends rejoice (radují se) both far and near
how can I keep from singing?


In prison cell and dungeon vile (hnusná cela/kobka/žalář)
our thoughts to them are winging (létají, poletují),
when friends by shame are undefiled (neposkvrnění)
how can I keep from singing?
