Clannad - Na Laethe Bhi lyrics

rate me

Do chomhrá s' do chairdeas

Ba mhian liom I gconaí

‘s oró grá mo chroí

Scéalta is amhrãin

Go haosta le sléibhte

Cruaidh ‘s cróga le haois

Slán le na laethe a bhí seal go haerach

Slán le na laethe a bhí

Slán leis an oíche

A casadh orainn do'n chéad uair

Slán le na laethe bhí

Ag amhare ar an fharraige

‘s an ghrian ar a'tsáile

‘s oró grá mo choí

Scéalta fa Bhalar

sna trí Mhici Gorra

Oileáin seanda mar fhís

Slán le na laethe a bhí seal go haerach

Slán le na laethe a bhí

Slán leis an oíche

A casadh orainn do'n chéad uair

Slán le na laethe bhí

Bí liom a stórín

Samhradh go geimhreadh

Rún mó mhíle stór

Slán le na laethe a bhí seal go haerach

Slán le na laethe a bhí

Slán leis an oíche

A casadh orainn do'n chéad uair

Slán le na laethe bhí

Translation

Your protection and your friendship

Were always desired,

and my heart's great love

Stories and songs

Old as the mountains

Strong and brave with age.

Goodbye to the days that were, turning so lightheartedly

Goodbye to the days that were

Goodbye to the night

Turning on the first hour

Goodbye to the days that were.

At the sight of the sea

and the sun on the seashore

and the great love of my heart

were stories and Balar (?)

in three Mici Gorra (?)

Ancient islands like a vision (or dream)

I had a sweetheart

From summer up to winter

My dearest love.
