Ní aithním thú,
ach teastaíonn tú
uaim níos mó dá bharr.
Tá mo bhriathra
'dhéanamh grinn dom,
ní fhéadaim tada a rá
Cluichí 's cleasanna nach
gciallaíonn tada ach
a imíonn tharainn mar cheo.
Tabhair an bád atá fós ar snámh
abhaile slán gan mhoill;
Glór is dóchas, tá rogha fós ann,
(A)nois, táir slán a chroí.
Grá dom leonadh, súil is eol dom,
níl aon dul ar ais;
Dallann gruaim is brón mo stuaim,
is Braithim dubh ar fad.
Ach, go d'fhulaing tú go leor,
is throid tú leat féin,
(A)nois, tuilleann tú(an) bua.
Tabhair an bád atá fós ar snámh
abhaile slán gan mhoill;
Glór is dóchas, tá rogha fós ann,
(A)nois, táir slán a chroí
Grá dom leonadh can do cheol a chroí
Canfad go h-ard!
D’íoc mise as rómhall..
Níl sé ann..

I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You'll make it now
Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing it loud
I paid the cost too late
Now you're gone..
