Liricí
– Lisa Hannigan
Is é ag spraoi ar feadh an lae
As he was having fun the whole day long
Ag fanacht fós ar an té
Waiting still for the one
A bhí ag breathnú anonn.
Who was looking over at him.
Caint is cómhra faoin leannán
All the talk was of the one he loved
A bhí aige, is a bhris a chroí.
Who was his, who broke his heart.
Anois an t-am; ‘sé istigh.
Now the time has come and gone.
An lá amach romham, is las an maidin.
The day before me, morning lit.
Mo shlí caillte ach anois leanaim
I lost my way but now I’m following
Ort is do chuid cainte ar bhealach a leasa.
What you said on the healing road.
is é mar chúis mo chuisle croí
It is what stirs my heart’s beat
Ach ní mhairfidh sé ar feadh na hoíche.
But that won’t last past the night.
ó. ó
Thit mé im’ luí arís gan aon fhadhb.
I went back to sleep so easily.
Mo shúile dúnta don ghrian ar m’aghaidh.
My eyes shut to the sun on my face.
Chas mo cheann, uaidh an fhuaim.
Turned my head away from the noise.
Glóracha na n-óg taobh le mo ghlúin
The sounds of the little ones by my knees.
Is muid ar lean an grá níos lú.
As we chase love a little less.
Ach ní linne an t-am le cur amú.
But time is not ours to flitter away.
ó, ó
Go deireadh an lae leat go faoithin
Till the end of the day, till eventide
Le cuimhní cinn is grá a d’fhan linn.
With memories and love that stayed with us.
Ag iarraidh an lá a fhadú leis an easpa analú.
Trying to lengthen the day breathlessly.
Is muid ag tíocht ag an gcríoch
As we come to the end
An ghrian an ísliú i dtreo na n-iasc.
The sun dips down toward the creatures of the sea.
ó, ó
