| An saoghal, sia uairean
| The world, six hours
|
| Obair la ri culTeaglach gabhal dhan a mheasa
| Day job with culTeaglach accept the fruit
|
| Pailteas, slainte, is gaol
| Abundance, health, and kinship
|
| An Ruis a tuiteam sios mum chluasan
| Russia falls to my ears
|
| An Ear Mheadhain am brot cho dorch
| Middle East the soup so dark
|
| Is thusa, uilc is a mhuirt is a shabaid
| And you, evil and murder and fighting
|
| Na mo bheatha a h-uile oidhche
| In my life every night
|
| An greim cho teann s cho araid
| The grip is so tight and so weird
|
| Mar ord na mo dhorn
| As the order of my fists
|
| A ghealach bha cho soilleir
| The moon was so bright
|
| S a gheall a leithid dhuinn
| And such a promise to us
|
| Bha sinn mar longan seolaidh
| We were like sailing ships
|
| Air cuan buidhe og a chridhe
| On the young yellow ocean of his heart
|
| Mu coinneamh clann an t-saoghil s a theaglaich
| Opposite the children of the world and his family
|
| Gun ghuth no gaire, Dia, no biadh
| No voice or laughter, God, or food
|
| Co as an dainig na reultan, thuirt miCo as an dainig grian
| Where the stars came from, said miCo whence the sun came
|
| Tha sinn cho leointe fo na ghealach seo
| We are so wounded under this moon
|
| Anam craidhte seachad air ifrinn fheinn
| A tormented soul beyond hell itself
|
| Ach tha thusa brosnaichadh nam bliadhnaichean
| But you are the inspiration of the years
|
| Le saidhbreas seachad air mo dhith
| With wealth beyond my want
|
| Cho cheal ri sneachd gach uile gheamhradh
| As much as snow every winter
|
| An t-oran gaoil mfhaosaid chiontach fheinn
| The love song of a guilty self
|
| O luaidh be siod an gradh
| Oh, that was love
|
| A dhfhag mi ceangailte ruit an drasda
| Which left me attached to you right now
|
| Co shaoileadh an rud a dhfhas
| Who would have thought the thing would grow
|
| Bho phog aon oidhche earraich
| From a kiss one spring night
