"Carrickfergus", sebuah lagu rakyat Irlandia yang memikat, dinyanyikan oleh suara merdu Charlotte Church, mengisahkan kerinduan mendalam akan rumah dan cinta yang hilang. Liriknya yang penuh perasaan mengungkapkan keinginan yang tak terpenuhi untuk menyeberangi lautan demi kekasih yang jauh, dibayangi oleh kesadaran akan ketidakmampuan untuk melakukannya. Dengan nada melankolis yang beresonansi dengan hati, lagu ini menggemakan tema kerinduan abadi dan rasa kehilangan yang mendalam, membangkitkan emosi yang kuat bagi siapa saja yang pernah mengalami kejauhan dari orang yang dicintainya.
Carrickfergus Lyrics
Charlotte Church
I wish I was in Carrickfergus
Where the castle looks out to sea.
I would swim over the deepest ocean
For my love to be with me.
But the sea is wide and I can not swim over
Nor have I the wings to fly
I wish I had a handsome boatman,
To ferry me over, my love and I.
I wish I was in the land of Arak,
Where the mountains reach the sea.
Where flowers blossom as I do remember.
Where my true love came to me.
But the sea is wide and I can not swim over.
Nor have I the wings to fly.
Ahh to be back now in Carrickfergus
To be together .. my love and I.
To be together .. my love and I.
I wish I was in Carrickfergus,
To be together my love and I.
I wish I was back home again.
Where the castle looks out to sea.
I would swim over the deepest ocean
For my love to be with me.
But the sea is wide and I can not swim over
Nor have I the wings to fly
I wish I had a handsome boatman,
To ferry me over, my love and I.
I wish I was in the land of Arak,
Where the mountains reach the sea.
Where flowers blossom as I do remember.
Where my true love came to me.
But the sea is wide and I can not swim over.
Nor have I the wings to fly.
Ahh to be back now in Carrickfergus
To be together .. my love and I.
To be together .. my love and I.
I wish I was in Carrickfergus,
To be together my love and I.
I wish I was back home again.
