Ben J W Anthony - Ellan Vannin (Ellan Vannin)

Note, in the Manx Language Ellen Vannin is pronounced El-ee-an Vannin
When the summer day is over, and its busy cares have flown
I sit beneath the starlight, with a weary heart, A-lone
Then rises like a vision, sparkling bright in nature's glee
My own dear Ellan Vannin, with its green hills by the sea
Then I hear the wavelets murmur, as they kiss the fairy shore
Then beneath the emerald waters, sings the mermaid as of yore
And the fair Isle shines with beauty, as in youth it dawned on me
My own dear Ellan Vannin, With its green hills by the sea
Then memories sweet and tender, come like music's plaintive flow
Of the hearts in Ellan Vannin, that loved me long A-go
And I give with tears and blessings, my own fondest thoughts to thee
My own dear Ellan Vannin, with its green hills by the sea
And I give with tears and blessings, my own fondest thoughts to thee
My own dear Ellan Vannin, with its green hills by the sea
