Rí do shaoil Mar craobh ghlas .... Ar chrann a bhí suite i ngleann dubh 'S an guth binn ... Dóchas mo chléibh 'S tú teanga mo mhuintir 's mo shaoil romham
Curfá: Dealramh go deo Ar fhada beo Dealramh go deo Ar ... Dealramh go deo ... sa cheo Dealramh go deo
Na cumha chaillte fhéin Muileann no ... 'S mé 'g éisteacht na ceolta mo thíre Le mothú, brón is brí Cuir lúcháir ar mo chroí 'S tú ceol mo shinsear 's mo shaoil romham
(Curfá 3x)
King of your life Like a green branch ... On a tree situated in a dark glen And a sweet voice ... Hope of my heart You're the language of my people and my life before me
Chorus: Shine forever Forever alive Shine forever ... Shine forever ... in the mist Shine forever
My own lost loneliness A mill ... I'm listening to the music of my country With feeling, sadness and meaning Puts joy in my heart You're the music of my ancestors and my life before me
(Chorus 3x)
