Clannad - Greatest Hits [compilation] (2005) by Clannad (보컬) on maniadb.com

Imtheochaidh soir is siar

A dtainig ariamh
An ghealach is an ghrian

Fol lol the doh fol the day
Fol the day fol the day

Imtheochaidh an ghealach's an ghrian
An Daoine og is a chail 'na dhiadh

Fol lol the doh fol the day
Fol the day fol the day

Fol lol the doh fol the day
Fol the day fol the day

Imtheochaidh a dtainig ariamh
an duine og is a chail ne dhiadh

Fol lol the doh fol the day
Fol the day fol the day

I am a boy from Ireland and I'd coax a nice young girl,
I wouldn't ask for a dowry with her, I'm rich enough myself,
I own Cork, big as it is both sides of the glen and Tyrone,
And if I don't change my ways I'll be the heir for County Mayo.

Cow herding, my Leo, I did not never practice,
But playing and drinking with new young women by the mountain.
If I lost my wealth and I don't think I lost my sense,
And your kiss is no more to me than a show worn for a year.

My love and treasure, don't marry the old grey man,
But marry a young man, my Leo, even though he lives but a year,
Or you'll still be without a daughter or son above you,
Crying in the afternoon or in the morning hard.

Like mighty ships that sail atlantic foam
The skellig isles parade the kerry coast
It's a strange place
With a needle's eye
Where shipwrecks lie

Chorus
Where the king of the world
Rested for a while
And a place for the pilgrim
A sanctuary of time
Fourteen steps to nowhere
Out of solid stone
Don't lead us to the heavens
Or lead us to the sea

The vikings came to plunder and destroy
But to this day the holy relics stand
In a blind mans cove
Where the wailing woman sighs
And the seagulls cry

Chorus

A journey to these islands so rare
The sound of screaming souls that fill the air
A thousand wings
Against the sky
And grey seal's disguised

Chorus

Slowly, I look around.
An angry sight for every sound.
We stood with troubles all around.
She's trampled on the ground.

Feel the sadness inside.
I'm scarlet inside.

I realize, far too late
As her life dissipates,
No truth, no reasons why,
Just the fear, and the hatred.

Feel the sadness inside.
I'm scarlet inside.

This life is such a lie
Now I don't even try
Never (I can't think why)
I never saw eye to eye.

Feel the sadness inside.
I'm scarlet inside.

Back in my schooldays, acting the fool days
One and one and one is three
And the man said, "Hey, come and cut yourself a piece of the big time"
Armor-clad forces, riding Trojan horses
Never made sense to me
I didn't want to be a part of the great debate on moonshine

(chorus)
"Stop, pay the price," they said to me
"Take this advice, you're out of your head"
I said, "Stop, hold the phone
This has to be cut to the bone
Too bad, I see red, I see red, I see red"

Sly man stumbles, twists and he tumbles
He always lands on his feet
And he sets his face towards the far horizon
Won't you come this way? Can't you go that way?
But his rhythm don't miss a beat
'Cause he's doing everything he can to keep surviving

"Stop, pay the price," they said to me
"Take this advice, you're out of your head"

chorus

So who wants a riot? People should be quiet
Don't we give them good TV?
You can learn to love your lifetime of distraction
Nothing on the inside, nothing on the outside
All the way from A to Z
I can live without that kind of satisfaction

chorus (4x)

Robin...
The hooded man


Robin...

I
Ar chonnlaigh ghlais an Fhoghmhair
A stoirin gur dhearc me uaim
Ba deas do chos I mbroig
'Sba ro-dheas do leagan siubhail
Do ghruaidh ar dhath na rosai
'Sdo chuirnini bhi fighte dluith
Monuar gan sinn 'ar bposadh
No'r bord luinge 'triall 'un siubhail
II
Ta buachailli na h-aite seo
A' gartha 'gus ag eirghe teann
Is lucht na gcochan ard
A' deanamh faruis do mo chailin donn
Da ngluaiseadh Ri na Spainne
Thar saile 's a shloighte cruinn
Bhruighfinn fear is fasach
'S bheinn ar laimh le mo chailin donn

III
Ceannacht buaibh ar aontaigh'
Da mbinn agus mo chailin donn
Gluais is tar a chead-searc
No go dteidh muid thar Ghaoth-Bearra 'nonn
Go sgartar o n-a cheile
Barr na gcraobh 's an eala on tuinn
Ni sgarfar sin o cheile
'S nil ach baois dibh a chur 'n mur gcionn

Chuir me leitir scriobhtha
Annsoir mo sweetheart agus casaoid ghear
Chuir si chugam aris i
Go rabh a croidhe istuigh I lar mo chleibh
Cum na h-eala is mine
Na'n sioda 's na cluimh na n-ean
Nach trom an osna ghnim-se
Nuair a smaoitighim ar a bheith 'sgaradh lei

'Se chuala m/e De Domhnaigh
Mar chomhradh 'gabhail eadar mhnaibh
Go rabh si 'gabhail 'a posadh
Ar oigfhear da bhfuil san ait
A stoirin glac mo chomhairle
'S a' foghmhar seo fan mar ta
'S cha leigim le 'bhfuil beo thu
A stor no 's tu mo ghradh

Translation
(From Larry Keith Ogle)

On the green stubble-fields of Autumn
I saw you, my sweetheart
Nice were your feet in shoes
And wonderful your nimble gait
Your hair the color of roses
And your ringlets tightly plaited
Alas that we're not married
Or on board ship sailing away

The boys around here are
Laughing and getting bold
And the people of the high straw?
Are making?? of my brown girl
If the King of Spain would
Go abroad with his assembled men
I would flatten grass and rank grass
And I would be with my brown girl

Buying cows at the fair
If I were? and my brown girl
Go and come first love
Until we go over to Gaoth-Bearra
Until we separate from each other
The tops of the branches and the swan
From the waves?
That won't separate us
And it's only folly for you to put it??

I wrote a letter
To my sweetheart and a sharp complaint
She sent it back to me
That her heart was inside me
Compose the artsswannoble person?
Finer than silk or bird feathers
Heavy is my sigh
When I think of being apart from her

What I heard on Sunday
As conversation among the women
That she was going to be married
To a young man from the place
Sweetheart take my advice
And this Autumn stay as you are
And don't tell anyone, my love
That you are my love

Everybody's rushing around,
Trying to keep a hold
On some piece of mind
All the time
And somebody's lookin' around
Tryin' to find
Something to believe in
To believe in
All the things they promised
They're always lies



Well it's something
Oh it's something to believe in
You know it's something

Every little once in a while
You take a chance to win
On a turning card
But it may be hard
We could be fooled on the merry-go-round
But i'm trying to find
Something to believe in
To believe in
All the things they promised
You know they always lied




I've been willing and strong all along
Through chilling times
In a sea of heartbreak
Where you give and take
I won't give in to promises
Until i find something to believe in
To believe in

Let me show you a face-in disguise
Uncover
A colour that's faded
Swept aside by the tide.

Scene after scene, later;
There's a grey dust that's in our eyes
A misty cover;
That hides on the turning tide.

Wooh..
The soul of a proud man drowns

Sad insinuation
Using words that are unwise
How they waver in your eyes
Wheels within wheels are turning
By now you know

Wooh..
The soul of a proud man drowns
For so long a proud man

As we face the fierce wind
And the turning tide.

With the sun right through,
departed into darkness,
I need someone too;
The fantasy and you

Now is here,
Here is now
Na na na na

You inspire
Peace of heart
Na na na na

With the words like air
The destiny we share
Is a dream come true
The fantasy and you

When many roads lead to nowhere
And all the places look the same
Everywhere

You just call me
You just call 'cause i'll be there

So many words said forever
And all the tales of yesterday
Fade away (fade away)

You just call me
You just call 'cause i'll be there
('cause i'll be there)
You just call 'cause i'll be there

When many roads lead to nowhere
And all the faces look the same
Everywhere

You just call me
You just call 'cause i'll be there
