| [00:09.40] |
If you ever go across the sea to Ireland, |
| [00:18.54] |
Then maybe at the closing of your day, |
| [00:26.80] |
You will sit and watch the moon rise over Claddagh |
| [00:35.90] |
And see the sun go down on Galway Bay. |
| [00:44.10] |
Just to hear again the ripple of the trout stream, |
| [00:53.58] |
The women in the meadows making hay |
| [01:01.52] |
And to sit beside a turf fire in a cabin |
| [01:10.70] |
And watch the barefoot gosoons at their play. |
| [01:27.69] |
For the strangers came |
| [01:30.71] |
And tried to teach us their ways, |
| [01:37.06] |
And scorned us just for being what we are |
| [01:45.17] |
But they might as well be chasing after moonbeams |
| [01:54.54] |
Or light a penny candle from a star |
| [02:02.76] |
And if there's going to be a life hereafter, |
| [02:11.97] |
And somehow I am sure there's going to be, |
| [02:20.14] |
I will ask my God to let me make my heaven |
| [02:29.23] |
In that dear land across the Irish Sea. |
| [02:37.96] |
