Véarsa 1
Ní sheo’d an áit is fearr ‘bheith ‘lorg paisean.
This is not the best place if you’re searching for passion.
Tá an bear seo lán le gleo.
This bar is full of noise.
Muide uilig ‘leanacht orainn go brách.
We all keep going on forever.
Ag spriocadh asainn arís, dar ndóigh.
Urging each other on, of course.
So, tar anonn is roinn do chuid rúnta is brionglóidí.
So, come on over and share your secrets and dreams.
Is fiú dúinn dul sa tseans ann.
It’s worth it for us to take the chance.
Tóg mo lámh, stop, cas air an ceol ar an jukebox.
Take my hand, stop, turn on the music on the jukebox.
Is damhsóidh muid go beo.
And we’ll dance away.

‘Muid ag canadh linn.
We’re singing away.
A stór, tabhair dom anois do lámh.
Darling, give me your hand now.
Cuireann do ghrása le mo neart is mo aoibh.
Your love makes me smile and strengthens me.
Breathnaigí ormsa. A chroí,
Look at me, guys. Darlin’,
Imí is báiní: ‘cuma faoi.
Gone crazy: who cares?
A stór, ní theastaíonn óráid.
Darlin’, no speech is needed.
Gabh i leith anois is bíodh do shúile, mo ghníomh.
Come here now and may your eyes be my will.
Leanaigí ormsa. A chroí.
Follow me, guys. Darlin’.
Lean, leanaigí. Seo’d é an tslí, mm-mmm.
Follow, follow, guys. This is the way, mm-mmm.
Véarsa 3
I mo shúile ní bhíonn ann ach thú.
In my eyes, there’s only you.
Ag tarraingt siar nuair is ceart dom brú.
Pulling back when I should follow through.
Seo’d an grá a bheas ‘am go buan.
This is the love I will always have.
I do dhiaidh, tá mé bailí.
You’re the one who gives me meaning.
Is aréir d’airigh mé an tús.
And last night I felt it start.
Anois mo shaol gaidhte siar gan chúis,
Now my life’s luckily back on track,
Chuile lá bíonn an domhan ag tosú nua.
Every day life starts anew.
I do dhiaidh, tá mé bailí.
You’re the one who gives me meaning.
Curfá
Ó aí, ó aí, ó aí, ó aí. I do dhiaidh, tá mé bailí. X3
Oh I, oh I, oh I, oh I. You’re the one who gives me meaning.
Véarsa 4
Chuile lá ‘ag iarraidh an domhan a mhalartú.
Every day ‘trying to change the world.
Ach i mo shúile, ní bhíonn ann ach thú.
But in my eyes, there’s only you.
Seachtain istigh, tús an scéil buailte linn.
A week in, the story started.
‘Ag dul amach anocht linn fhéin.
‘Going out tonight, just us.
Leis an gciste is tíosaí, muid ag lorg na píosaí.
With hardly any money, looking to make ends meet.
Ag líonadh plátaí suas go béal.
Load up the plates.
Is cuma milis nó searbh, leanann muide ag labhairt
We talk on for hours, whether it’s sweet or sour.
Faoi chlann is cairde, smaointe is saol,
About family and friends, thoughts and life.
Ag pógadh ansin ‘cúl an tacsaí, ag fágáil slán di.
Kissing away there in the back of the taxi, saying goodbye to her.
Cas an t-amhrán breá sin suas go réidh.
Sing that fine song, nice and easy.
Véarsa 2 & 3 arís:

Chuile lá ‘ag iarraidh an domhan a mhalartú.

But in my eyes, there’s only you.
Bíodh tusa, mo bhaebaí. Bí liom. X6
Be my baby. Be with me. X6
