Árainn mhór

 

Wind-swept, still we board the ferry

In the port tidal sway is not too bad

Venturing out to the open sea stretch

Portholes dip drastically below water levels.

 

Céad Míle Fáitle – A hundred thousand welcomes

Residents so relaxed, Also, the most friendliest too.

The Pipe Band my reason for visiting this beautiful island

To teach my role however time disappears here, it’s a delight

 

A golden beach, Lighthouse, lakes and rugged cliff edges

I’ve seen them all, picturesque scenes like no other.

The bars open late, when they close, the disco starts.

Ceol agus craic to be had by one and all.

 

Arranmore, yes the island of the West Coast of Donegal

Not the Aran islands of Galway or the Scottish Isle of Arran.

If you have not travelled here, I recommend it at some stage,

I’ve not been to the later two but there’s only one Arranmore
