Irish

Listen to the running of the waves
Hear the sound that carries on the wind

Chorus:
Is mé Oisín gem arsaidh
Do airrcis mé mná miolla
Léithi is goire don duinne
Cruime is goire don dirge

Voices call, carry on the wind
Ancient songs whisper to the end

(Chorus 2x)

English

Listen to the running of the waves
Hear the sound that carries on the wind

Chorus:
I am Oisín, although ancient
I have loved gentle women
Gray is nearest to brown
Crooked is nearest to being upright

Voices call, carry on the wind
Ancient songs whisper to the end

(Chorus 2x)
