The anthem of marriage Celtic

And here 'shymn to Ti Ra Nog which recites during marriage Celtic:
"Land of the land of youth and life
earth free of pain
far away in the West golden
on the shore of the blue sea
I own a boat crystal fast
as mortal eyes never saw
we will pass over that land before the night falls
on my boat fast and shining.
We'll go to the shore of the sunny land
Free of priests and demons
to the land of youth, golden in the West
on the shore of the blue sea
the land of green valleys
clear streams and dense grass plains
a land of peace, serena, free from death and pain
where it is always summer ".
