Sophie Lennon

Sophie lives in a small village called Mayobridge in County Down, where she began her musical journey.

The 13 year old already has a good deal of stage experience under her belt, having played Young Fiona in Shrek: The Musical (Belfast) and winning BBC School Soloist of the Year 2022.

The young singer enjoys making funny TikToks with her mum, joking: ‘she doesn’t like it, but I drag her in anyway!’

Sophie is also a registered carer for her disabled older brother, Connor, which takes up a lot of her spare time.

Lyrics of Solas

Gaeilge English

In san chiúnas 
Tá an oíche fhad' ag teacht
's níl aon bhealach ar ais
Capaill miotail 
le cuma dragain fhiáin 
ag anál tine

Gach oíche 
Is mise an solas 
's tá mé i gcónaí leat
Tagann scáthanna 
I ndiaidh luí na gréine
ach tá mé i gcónaí leat

'g cloisteáil stoirm 
Tá an toirneach (ag) 'dul i méid
Ach tá solas fós ann, oh
Lean an ceol seo
Tá se ionat, tá tú réidh,
don saol mór a lasadh

Gach oíche 
Is mise an solas 
's tá mé i gcónaí leat
Tagann scáthanna 
I ndiaidh luí na gréine
ach tá mé i gcónaí leat

Ná bí eaglach faoin saol mór
Glac leis, an draoícht i do chroí
An fáinne óir a tógadh
Lasta, le go dtógfar é ar ais

'an ghrian ag éirí 
Téann na scathanna siar
Tá lá nua anseo

Gach oíche 
Is mise an solas 
's tá mé i gcónaí leat
Tagann scáthanna 
I ndiaidh luí na gréine
ach tá mé i gcónaí leat

In the silence
the long night is coming
And there is no way back
Metal horses
like dragons
Breathing fire

Every night
I am the light
I am always with you
Shadows come
after sunset
but I am always with you

Hear the storm
The thunder is getting worse
But the light is still there
Follow the beautiful music
It’s inside you, you are ready
To light up the world

Every night
I am the light
I am always with you
Shadows come
after sunset
but I am always with you

Don’t be afraid of the big world
Accept/hold onto the magic in your heart
The gold ring that was taken
Aglow, so that it can be recovered.

The sun is rising
The shadows retreat
A new day is here

Every night
I am the light
I am always with you
Shadows come
after sunset
but I am always with you
