From the recording Songs of Sligo

Benbulben is truly unique. It’s not terribly demanding, but it can still leave you breathless a few times if you try to maintain a steady pace and reach the top in one go. It’s better to take some breaks on the way up—sit down on a rock, sip your water, and soak in the views… And what better place to take your date?

Lyrics

Under the wide and open sky so blue,
Let’s take a journey, just me and you.
Grab those solid boots, we’ll hit the trail,
Climbing up Benbulben, we’re bound to prevail.
Hand in hand, let’s explore the heights,
With the wilds of Sligo and the starry nights.

Let’s have a date on Benbulben high,
Where the mountains kiss the clouds in the sky.
We’ll chase the echoes of the wind’s sweet call,
At the top of the world, we can have it all.

The wildflowers bloom, painting the green,
Every step we take, a moment serene.
Whispers of nature, like a lover’s tune,
Under the watchful eye of the golden moon.
We'll laugh and we'll talk, let the world fade away,
As we make new memories on this perfect day.


Let’s have a date on Benbulben high,
Where the mountains kiss the clouds in the sky.
We’ll chase the echoes of the wind’s sweet call,
At the top of the world, we can have it all.

When we reach that summit, oh what a sight,
The valleys below, basked in golden light.
With your heart next to mine, I’ll feel so alive,
In the wilds of Sligo, this love will thrive.

Let’s have a date on Benbulben high,
Where the mountains kiss the clouds in the sky.
We’ll chase the echoes of the wind’s sweet call,
At the top of the world, we can have it all.

So let’s climb together, you and I,
On Benbulben’s slopes, we’ll touch the sky.
With the beauty around and love in our hearts,
This date on the mountain, forever it starts.
