Enya missed her grandparents, Hugh and Mary Duggan (Aodh agus Máire Uí Dúgain), when they passed on. She wrote this song in their memory.

le Eithne Ní Bhraonáin (D'Aodh Agus Do Mháire Uí Dhúgain) Éist le mo chroí, Go brónach a choích' Tá mé caillte gan tú 's do bhean chéile. An grá mór i do shaoil Treoraí sé mé. Bígí liomsa i gcónaí Lá 's oích'. Curfá: Ag caoineadh ar an uaigneas mór Na deora, go brónach 'Na gcodladh ins an uaigh ghlas chiúin Faoi shuaimhneas, go domhain. Aoibhneas a bhí Ach d'imigh sin Sé lean tú Do fhear chéile. An grá mór i do shaoil Treoraí sé mé. Bígí liomsa i gcónaí Lá 's oích'. Curfá Smaointe, ar an lá 'Raibh sibh ar mo thaobh Ag inse scéil Ar an dóigh a bhí Is cuimhin liom an lá Gan ghá 's gan ghruaim Bígí liomsa i gcónaí Lá 's oích'.

by Enya ("For Hugh and Mary Duggan") Listen to my heart, Forever sad I'm lost without you and your wife. The great love in your life Will guide me. Be (plural) with me always Day and night. Chorus: Weeping due to the great loneliness The tears, sorrowfully Asleep in the quiet green grave In a deep peace. There was blissfulness But that is gone You followed Your husband. The great love in your life Will guide me. Be (plural) with me always Day and night. Chorus A thought, on the day You were (both) at my side Telling tales Of how things were. I remember the day Carefree and happy Be (plural) with me always Day and night.
