Beocht is gliondar, beocht is gliondar: tapaigh leis [an grá] go láidir. Lig do chroí bheith sáite.
ó…
[Bhí] spraoi amuigh, is beocht istigh. An saol togtha eadrainn. [Ach ansin bhí] Tuar sa spéir ann dúinn go léir: [ag rá] Ní bheidh an teocht sin linn.
Curfá
[So] Scaoil uait na deora, lig don tsruth sní ar aghaidh. Scaoil uait na deora is beidh Beidh mé leatsa i dtrátha i lár na hoíche. Scaoil uait na deora ar aghaidh.
Tráth, dá raibh, muid ann, fadó An spéir comh mór amach romhainn Anois, ag snámh linn lámh ar lámh Ár dtodhchaí fhéin [arís] faoi bhláth.
Curfá X2 ó…
Beocht is gliondar, beocht is gliondar: tapaigh leis [an grá] go láidir. Lig do chroí bheith sáite. Beocht is gliondar, beocht is gliondar: tapaigh leis [an grá] go láidir, Lig do chroí bheith sáite.
Curfá X2
1 X2
Beocht is gliondar, beocht is gliondar, tapaigh leis [an grá] go láidir. Lig do chroí bheith sáite. Beocht is gliondar, beocht is gliondar: tapaigh leis [an grá] go láidir, Lig do chroí bheith sáite.
Life and joy, life and joy: seize it [love] fast and hold on tight. Let your heart be taken.
Oh..
[There was] fun out there and life in here. Life [was] wonderful for us. [But then there was] A sign in the sky for all of us: [saying] That warmth won’t be there for us.
Chorus
Let out the tears, let the stream flow out. Let out the tears and I’ll be with you like I should throughout the night. Let the tears flow on out.
There we were once long ago The sky so vast out there before us. Now we’re swimming, hand in hand Our own future [again] is blooming.
Chorus X2 oh…
Life and joy, life and joy: seize it [love] fast and hold on tight. Let your heart be taken. Life and joy, life and joy: seize it [love] fast and hold on tight. Let your heart be taken.
Chorus x2
Life and joy, life and joy: seize it [love] fast and hold on tight. Let your heart be taken. Life and joy, life and joy: seize it [love] fast and hold on tight Let your heart be taken.
