Chuaigh mé isteach i dteach aréir
<br />is d'iarr mé cairde ar mhnaoi an leanna.
<br />Is é dúirt sí liom "Ní bhfaighidh tú deor.
<br />Buail an bóthar is gabh abhaile
<br />
<br />I came by a house last night
<br />And told the woman I am staying
<br />I said to her:
<br />"The moon is bright and my fiddles tuned for playing"
<br />
<br />Tell me that the night is long
<br />Tell me that the moon is glowing
<br />Fill my glass, I'll sing a song
<br />And will start the music flowing
<br />
<br />Never mind the rising light
<br />There's no sign of day or dawning
<br />In my heart it's still the night
<br />And we'll stay here till the morning
<br />
<br />Chorus:
<br />Níl sé ina lá, níl a ghrá,
<br />níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go maidin,
<br />níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go fóill,
<br />solas ard atá sa ghealaigh.
<br />
<br />It's not day nor yet awhile
<br />I can see the starlight shining
<br />Níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go fóill,
<br />solas ard atá sa ghealaigh.
<br />
<br />Fill the glasses one more time
<br />And never heed the empty bottle
<br />Turn the water into wine
<br />And turn the party up full throttle
<br />
<br />Don't go out into the cold
<br />Where the wind and rain are blowing
<br />For the fire is flamming gold
<br />And in here the music's flowing
<br />
<br />Níl sé ina lá, níl a ghrá,
<br />níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go maidin,
<br />níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go fóill,
<br />solas ard atá sa ghealaigh.
<br />
<br />Tell me that the night is long
<br />Tell me that the moon is gleaming
<br />Fill my glass, I'll sing a song
<br />And we'll keep the music streaming
<br />Until all the songs are sung
<br />
<br />Níl sé ina lá, níl a ghrá,
<br />níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go maidin,
<br />níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go fóill,
<br />solas ard atá sa ghealaigh.
<br />
<br />Níl sé ina lá, níl a ghrá,
<br />níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go maidin,
<br />níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go fóill,
<br />solas ard atá sa ghealaigh.

<br />
<br />Níl sé ina lá, níl a ghrá,
<br />níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go maidin,
<br />níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go fóill,
<br />solas ard atá sa ghealaigh.
<br />
<br />Níl sé ina lá, níl a ghrá,
<br />níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go maidin,
<br />níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go fóill,
<br />solas ard atá sa ghealaigh<br /><br />
