Níl Sé'n Lá

Chuaigh mé isteach i dteach aréir

is d'iarr mé cairde ar mhnaoi an leanna

Is é dúirt sí liom "Ní bhfaighidh tú deor

Buail an bóthar is gabh abhaile

I came by a house last night

And told the woman I am staying

I said to her

"The moon is bright and my fiddles tuned for playing"

Tell me that the night is long

Tell me that the moon is glowing

Fill my glass, I'll sing a song

And will start the music flowing

Never mind the rising light

There's no sign of day or dawning

In my heart it's still the night

And we'll stay here till the morning

Níl sé ina lá, níl a ghrá

níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go maidin

níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go fóill

solas ard atá sa ghealaigh

It's not day nor yet awhile

I can see the starlight shining

Níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go fóill

solas ard atá sa ghealaigh

Fill the glasses one more time

And never heed the empty bottle

Turn the water into wine

And turn the party up full throttle

Don't go out into the cold

Where the wind and rain are blowing

For the fire is flamming gold

And in here the music's flowing

Níl sé ina lá, níl a ghrá

níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go maidin

níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go fóill

solas ard atá sa ghealaigh

Tell me that the night is long

Tell me that the moon is gleaming

Fill my glass, I'll sing a song

And we'll keep the music streaming

Until all the songs are sung

Níl sé ina lá, níl a ghrá

níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go maidin

níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go fóill

solas ard atá sa ghealaigh

Níl sé ina lá, níl a ghrá

níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go maidin

níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go fóill

solas ard atá sa ghealaigh

Níl sé ina lá, níl a ghrá

níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go maidin

níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go fóill

solas ard atá sa ghealaigh

Níl sé ina lá, níl a ghrá

níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go maidin

níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go fóill

solas ard atá sa ghealaigh
