An Gleann
Dul sí­os an gleann tráthnóna aréir
D'imigh an scáth as tóin a 'tsléibh
An drúcht 'na luí­ ar bharr an fhéir
An saol uilig 'na gcodhladh
D'imigh an scáth as tóin a 'tsléibh
Gan baol ar bith go maidin

Dúrún an dúiche seo
Ó ghlúin go glúin
Lonad mar fhí­s sa cheo
Rún go ciúin

Sé cumhacht na gcrann fan áit
'Spreag na baird 'san fhilí­ocht
Na clocha 'tá coisbicthe fan árd

Thí­os fá gleann dá locha
I dtobar i dúin
Gartan cholmcille
Sin go lá a'luain

Dul sí­os an gleann tráthnóna aréir
D'imigh an scáth as tóin a 'tsléibh
An drúcht 'na luí­ ar bharr an fhéir
An saol uilig 'na gcodhladh
D'imigh an scáth as tóin a 'tsléibh
An drúcht 'na luí­ ar bharr an fhéir
D'imigh an scáth as tóin a 'tsléibh
Gan baol ar bith go maidin

Dul sí­os an gleann tráthnóna aréir
D'imigh an scáth as tóin a 'tsléibh
An drúcht 'na luí­ ar bharr an fhéir
An saol uilig 'na gcodhladh
D'imigh an scáth as tóin a 'tsléibh
Gan baol ar bith go maidin

D'imigh an scáth as tóin a 'tsléibh
Gan baol ar bith go maidin...

Fadó
Anois i dtús an fhómhair
Is mé smaointiú siar
Ar an laethe aerach'i bhfad ó shoin
'S mé a' súgradh le mo mhian
Bhí­ áilneacht aoibhinn ar a h-aghaidh
Is sólás in a croí­
Ba sin fadó a bhuachaill
Ba sin fadó, fadó

I ndúbhlaí­ocht an gheimhridh
A casadh orm í­
Go h-éascaí­ stuama 's muid linn fhéin
Thug sí­ domhsa lámh
Ghoid mé póg on bhainbí­on óg
'S thit mé léi i ngrá
Ba sin fadó a bhuachaill
Ba sin fadó, fadó

A bhuachaill óig
I bhfad sul a bhfaca tusa 'n lá
A bhuachaill óig
I bhfad sul a bhfaca tusa 'n lá

Nar dheas dá dtiochfadh an trá sin
Ar seal beag liom arí­s
Ó bhéarfainn dí­ gach uile ní­
'S mo dhí­lseacht léi go bráth
Tá'n saol seo cruaidh, tá'n saol seo corr
Tig scamall ar an ghrian
Ba deas fadó a bhuachaill
Ba deas fadó, fadó

A bhuachaill óig
I bhfad sul a bhfaca tusa 'n lá...

A Mhuirnín Ó
A mhuirní­n ó an dtiocfaidh tú na bhaile
A mhuirní­n ó an dtiocfaidh tú liom
A mhuirní­n ó an dtiocfaidh tú na bhaile
A mhuirní­n ó

Bhí­ sé thí­os i lár a' mhargaidh
Dól sé 's cheol sé ar rith an lae
Nuair a tháinig an oí­che gan pingin ina bhrí­ste
Is mairg nár ghlac mé comhairle na mná

Casadh orm é le heiri na gréine
An ógánach gleoite go folláin 's go beo
Nuair a thóg sé a hata agus labhair sé le gáire
Thit mé i ngra leis, chreid mé go deo

Bhí­ cnaipí­ airgid ar mo chóta
Is ribní­ sí­oda a bhfearr sa tí­r
Slabhraí­ óir is clocha luachmhar
Mheall mé le saibhreas é go fí­or

Ní­ rabhas ag a nduine cé'n pháirt dén tí­r é
Labhair sé go uasal soinneanta só
Bhí­ 'n tiombá thart go raibh tiarna ina theaghlach
Ní­ raibh sé i bhfad bhí­ mé geallta do

Tá'n ceangal fada 's deacar a scaoileadh
Bhfearr i bhfad a bheith cinnte do
Ní­or ghlac sé i bhfad gur bhris sé mo chroí­ sa
A leoga ní­ seo mo scéilí­n ó

A 'gur shiúl sé sí­os i lár a mhargaidh
'S cheannaigh sé carda ar phunt nó dhó
Bhí­ an tádh ina rith leis, bhain sé an "lotto"
Anois bhéidh an chuideachta againn go deo

Of This Land
How gentle was the breeze that surrounded the way
How loud the sea's roar on the four winds everyday
Sharing love, wounded gifts from ancient long ago
Together they closed in the circles we know

Will we treasure all the secrets with life's changing scenes?
Where our hearts were warm with love, so much love
Will the flowers grow again as I open out my hand?
Precious time, time for healing the beauty of this land

How soulful those words that confuses the way
How wild the mountains' stare as they guard our every day
Take for granted noble hearts in the golden age that's flown
Between us, recall on a strong road we've known

Will we treasure all the secrets with life's changing scenes?
Where our hearts were warm with love, so much love
Will the flowers grow again as I open out my hand?
Precious time, time for healing the beauty of this land

Court to Love
Coming into certain lines of justice
A venue for a Venus and Eve
Take the balance of their beauty between them
A vain look can deceive

I'm only paying court to love
As deep as you can find
On the blind side of your heart
Safe inside your mind

When the length of days are dawning
It feels right in the light of understanding
There's always something bound to be a warning
When it's infinite it never meets

I'm only paying court to love
As deep as you could wish to find
On the blind side of your heart
Safe inside your mind
(Repeat)

I'm only paying court to love
As deep as you could wish to find
On the blind side of your heart
Safe inside, safe inside your mind

Court to love...

The Bridge of Tears
The mist has cleared from Muckish Hill
Our parting coming nearer
The last embrace, the final touch
With nothing more to say
Nothing more to say

As silence fell around the bridge
Not a single word was spoken
A bitter breeze, a lonely stream
Echoed through the glen
Echoed through the glen

Droichead na ndeor
Agus droichead na gcaointe
Droichead na gcaointe
Agus droichead na ndeor

Ochón 's ó

Memories fade with passing age
In forlorn hope we wait for
Distant hills still haunt us now
Until the end of time
Until the end of time

Droichead na ndeor
Agus droichead na gcaointe
Droichead na gcaointe
Agus droichead na ndeor
Droichead na ndeor
Agus droichead na gcaointe
Droichead na gcaointe
Agus droichead na ndeor

Autumn Leaves Are Falling
Autumn leaves are falling 'round us
Time to gather all those many thoughts
Of all the things that might have been
Or gained at such a cost
For some of us there's endless hoping
For some of us a craziness, too
Holding onto better reasons
Works for me and you, you know it's true

And when the stakes are higher
Never play with fire
Leave it alone

I wandered through a country churchyard
And wondered what kind of life they led
Walked into a castle ruin
Of gentry that had fled
For some of them had endless hoping
Some of them crazy, too
Holding onto better reasons
We'll never truly know

Those trees will tumble down on a stormy day
And those leaves will fade away, fade away

The autumn leaves are falling 'round us
I'm here to gather all my many thoughts
Of all the things that might have been
As the ground has turned to frost

Leaves are falling, autumn leaves are falling...

Let Me See
Let me see generation times
Will we hear children singing rhymes?
Sweet memories gone by, they're gone by
Let me be wiser with my eyes
Let me see my love by my side
Let me see heaven

Lonely years of searching the wilderness
How this world can lead us all astray
Don't let me cry over colorless pictures
No more bitter winds
No more troubled seas
Just forgive me and let me see

Let me see my love, let me see
Let me see my love, let me see

Let me see generation times
Will we hear children singing rhymes?
Sweet memories gone by, they're gone by
Let me be wiser with my eyes
Let me see my love by my side
Let me see heaven

Crossing the room, I recognize the child in me
I'll close my eyes to release away all my fears
We silence the rose to see it blossom back again
Step by step we walk on
Word by word we talk on
Just forgive me and let me see

Let me see generation times
Will we hear children singing rhymes?
Sweet memories gone by, they're gone by
Let me be wiser with my eyes
Let me see my love by my side
Let me see heaven
