“Falling Slowly” as Gaeilge. The Irish version of this song was performed by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová (The Swell Season) for Seachtain na Gaeilge’s “Ceol ’09” compilation album. Note that the Irish lyrics are not a direct translation of the original English lyrics.
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..
