Dom  Yann  Derrien  please  do  not  be  afraid
This  is  no  demon ′s  dream  you  have  made
I  am  the  ghost  of  your  mother ′s  soul
This  night  to  Compostela  you  must  go .
Long  and  far  is  the  path  of  the  pilgrims  of  old
Paved  with  pebbles  of  silver  and  stones  of  gold
From  Galicia  you  may  deliver  my  soul
To  the  city  of  Compostela  you  must  go .
And  as  the  pilgrim ′s  way  you  retrace
A  beast  of  darkness  you  will  face
He  will  entice  you  your  journey  to  forksake
Or  he  will  cast  you  in  the  ocean ′s  wake .
Long  and  far  is  the  path  of  the  pilgrims  of  old
Paved  with  pebbles  of  silver  and  stones  of  gold
From  Galicia  you  may  deliver  my  soul
To  the  city  of  Compostela  you  must  go .
O  Santiago  will  you  be  my  guide
And  will  your  spirit  travel  by  my  side
This  prayer  was  heard  throughout  Galicia
Then  he  appeared  at  Compostela .
Long  and  far  is  the  path  of  the  pilgrims  of  old
Paved  with  pebbles  of  silver  and  stones  of  gold
From  Galicia  you  may  deliver  my  soul
To  the  city  of  Compostela  you  must  go .
And  he  delivered  three  souls
His  father ′s  soul ,his  mother ′s  soul  and  his  own  soul .
Long  and  far  is  the  path  of  the  pilgrims  of  old
Paved  with  pebbles  of  silver  and  stones  of  gold
From  Galicia  you  may  deliver  my  soul
To  the  city  of  Compostela  you  must  go .
