Marble Halls
An operatic piece originally scored by the Irish composer and baritone, Michael William Balfe (1808-1870). ‘Marble Halls’, or ‘The Dream’ as it is also known, is from his 1843 opera The Bohemian Girl, which enjoyed great success during his lifetime. Balfe was once complimented by Strauss as being the Master of Melody. The Bohemian Girl, and in particular this song, is a favourite of both Enya and her mother.

’S Fagaim Mo Bhaile (That i leave home )
Verse 1]
Morning and the day
That I leave my home
My heart is sad
That long gone is my youth
[Bridge]
And I own the night
Deep black skies, forever
Having had memorable days
Carefree and
Listening to the wind
Great loneliness, forever, and ever
[Verse 2]
End of the great journey
I am sad, sorrowful, broken
After me there will be no more
However, it is our destiny to have children
[Verse 3]
The day is long
I left my home
There is no hope in my heart
There is only death

I dreamt I dwelt in marble halls
With vassals 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
I dreamt that suitors sought my hand
That knights upon bended knee
And with vows no maidens heart could withstand
They pledged their faith to me
And I dreamt that one of that 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
