Celtic Woman - You raise me up

아일랜드에 가본 적은 없지만, 아일랜드 음악이나 영화같은 걸 보면 알 수 없는 동질감이 느껴질때가 있다.

You raise me up은 2001년 Secret Garden 앨범에 처음으로 실린 노래인데, 지금이 2008년이니 그리 오래된 노래도 아니다. 그런데 Wikipedia에 따르면 지금까지 125번 이상 녹음되었다고 하니 대단한 노래라는 건 확실하네.

아래 비디오는 Celtic Woman의 버전. 청아한 목소리와 앙상블에 그냥 듣고만 있어도 눈물이 흘러 내릴 것만 같은 그런 노래.

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up... To more than I can be.
