- A Dream In The Night
Came into a dream in the night
When all the world was sleeping so tight
A treasure in store, perilous moments
Knowing their love was so true
A help from their friends, brave and so daring
Angel, soldier, in the night
Dreams can be so real and so true
- A Mhuirnin O
A mhuirnín ó an dtiocfaidh tú na bhaile
A mhuirnín ó an dtiocfaidh tú liom
A mhuirnín ó an dtiocfaidh tú na bhaile
A mhuirnín ó
Bhí sé thíos i lár a' mhargaidh
Dól sé 's cheol sé ar rith an lae
Nuair a tháinig an oíche gan pingin ina bhríste
- Alasdair MacColla
Broken pieces everywhere
I stole my mind, and found I care
Running on the morning tide
Something you would say to me
We drank the waters of delight
We played the games of wrong and right
Did we understand
- An Gabhar Ban
Sa tsean ghleann thiar a bhi sí raibh
Go dtí gur fhás na hadharc' uirthi
Bliain is céad is corradh laethe
Go dtáinig an aois go tréan uirthi
Bhi sí gcró bheag ins an cheo
Go dtáinig feil'eoin is gur éalaigh sí
Thart an ród san bealach mór
Gur lean a tóir go gear uirthi.
- An Giobog
Bliain mhór sa taca seo
Ba deas mo chulaith éadaigh
Ba lúfar éadrom aigeanta
A dhéanfainn bean a bhréagadh
Ach shantaigh mise an ghiobóg
Mar bhí cupla bó mar spré aici
Is d'fhág sí ar an anás mé
Is mo chraiceann gheal gan léine
- An Gleann
Dul síos an gleann tráthnóna aréir
D'imigh an scáth an toín a 'tsléibh
An drúcht 'na luí are bharr an fhéir
An soal uilig 'nagcodhladh
D'imigh an scátch as toín a 'tsléibh
Gan boal are bith go maidin
Dúrún an duíche seo
- An Tull
Tá scéilín na 'gam le h-insint dóibhse,
Cúrsaí spóirt agus comhrá dí,
Úll breá gleoite do chuireas I mo phóca,
'S ni bhfuaras romham ach prátín síl.
Curfa
Ó mo thuirse mar shileann mo shúile,
Indiadh an úll ud a bhí bréa buí,
- Ana
The place changes and goes. Like a wind, like clouds.
Like the traces of the heart, no halt at the places.
The place is so far away. be far apart.
People's hand does not reach,so merely has (the) worship.
The place is a lofty lord. can't meet nobody put on.
We will lose the place.so lofty which changes.
- Ancient Forest
Came upon an ancient forest
A guiding power had led me there
Walking through the mystic forest
The legend, tale of times gone by.
Once it's whisper in the black night
Reflection deep in wooded lands
A floating mist that circles shadows
- Autumn Leaves Are Falling
Autumn leaves are falling 'round us
Time to gather all those many thoughts
Of all the things that might have been
Or gained at such a cost
- Banba Oir
Both two hands
Of noble people
Write the ogham
In golden ireland
In young company
Noble of nature
Desire of music
- Both Sides Now
Из фильма "Кара небесная"
Both Sides Now
Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere, I've looked at cloud that way.
But now they only block the sun, they rain and snow on everyone.
So many things I would have done but clouds got in my way.
- Caide sin do'n te sin
[From Gerard Manning's List of Clannad Lyrics]
Chuaigh me chun aonaigh is dhiol me mo bho
Ar chuig phunta airgid is ar ghini bhui oir
Ma olaim an t-airgead is ma bhronnaim an t-or
O caide sin do'n te sin nach mbaineann sin do
Ma olaim an t-airgead is ma bhronnaim an t-or
O caide sin do'n te sin nach mbaineann sin do
- Caislean Oir
Thart orainn
Reált geal san oíche
Tá'n fharraige ciúin
Agus suaimhneas sa ghaoth
An fharraige chiúin
Ar ag codladh sa ghaoth
Thí os sa ghleann an ghleann an cheo
- Chuaigh Me Na Rosann
Chuaig mé 'na Rosann ar cuairt
Gur bhreathnaigh me uaim an speir
Is thart fá na holeain ó thuaidh
Mar eiht agus cu 'na diaidh
Se dearfadh gach duine fan chuan
O tharla mé nuas fán cheidh
"Nach maith a aithnim ar do ghruaim
Gur fear thú 'bhfuil an toir 'na dhiaidh"
- Closer To Your Heart
It's the same old story
When someone astounds you
The harder they come
Yes the harder they fall
Takin' it easy
No matter what people say
And time will heal all your troubles away
- Coinleach Glas An Fhomhair
Ar chonnlaigh ghlais an Fhoghmhair
A stóirín gur dhearc mé uaim
Ba deas do chos i mbróig
'Sba ró-dheas do leagan siubhail.
Do ghruaidh ar dhath na rósaí
'Sdo chúirníní bhí fighte dlúith
Monuar gan sinn 'ár bpósadh
Nó'r bórd luinge 'triall 'un siubhail.
- Court To Love
Coming Into certain lines of justice
A venue for a Venus and Eve
Take the balance of their beauty between them
A vain look can deceive
I'm only paying court to love

- Down By The Salley Gardens
Down by the Salley Gardens, my love and I did meet.
She passed the Salley Gardens with little snow-white feet.
She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the trees,
But I've been young and foolish, with her would not agree.
In a field by the river, my love and I did stand
And on the leaning shoulder, she laid her snow-white hand.
She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs
- Down by the Sally Gardens
Down By The Sally Gardens lyrics
(lyrics W.B. Yeats/traditional air "Maids of Mourne Shore")
Down by the Sally Gardens
My love and I did meet.
She passed the Sally Gardens
With little snow-white feet.
She bid me to take love easy

A mháthair mhín ó! cuir mo roithleán go dtí mé.
Tá cosa dubha dúbailte ar an dúlamán gaelach

- Gaoth Barra na DTonn
Tá gealach na gconnlach ag éirí sa spéir
's grian bhuí an fhómhair ag tomadh sa weir
Tá na beachógaí 'dranndián sa tsean duilliúr donn
Tá gaoth barra na g'coillte, gaoth barra na d'tonn
Tá na ba óga geimní 'nuas mhallí chró lí?
Sna caoirigh ag meidhlí le druidim na hoich'
Tá geal gháir na sruthan fán screagach anonn
- Gathering Mushrooms
Rising early out of bed
Across the fields I steered O
When O and I a woman I spied
And a pretty fair maid appeared O.
Her head was bare I do declare
She had neither hat nor feather on
And she stopped so low gave me to know
It was mushrooms she was gathering O.
- Harry's Game
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
- Hourglass
He comes out of silence and opens the door
Waiting for someone to die
Deep in her heart she is hoping for
The long-lost one
How could she know when the promise was made?
So how can it end in this way?
Then four gray walls come tumbling down
- I Will Find You
Hope is your survival
A captive path I lead
No matter where you go
I will find you
If it takes a long long time
No matter where you go
I will find you
If it takes a thousand years
- In Fortune's Hand
Tell me what you please
This place is a squeeze
Your guess is as good as mine
Sell me other dreams; oh, the summer's here
You know we're going down the line
You know we're going down the line
Taking all the pieces of the situation
- In Search Of A Heart
This heart of mine won't keep
Or believe in the secret, like the moss on a stone
This heart of mine won't beat
It just carries itself away
These parting times won't break me
Deserted times stop running
-backwards-
Ar do chul
- Journey's End
Journey's End
Blue waves are rolling
Visions in my mind
Of a strange voice calling
Journey's at an end, journey's at an end
Journey's at an end, journey's at an end
Hear the anchor sinking
- Live And Learn
You've got to live and learn
You've got to live and learn
Before your bridges burn
You've got to live and learn
Here's a little story about life
Everybody that lives surely dies
A lot of people ask the questions why
- Love and Affection
You play games in the street
Who to trust and who to meet
Sweet justice hard to find
Say the same with deceit
Take no blame in defeat
Sweet justice hard to find
All I wanted was love and affection
- Many Roads
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
- Mlorag's Na Horo Gheallaidh
Mhorag Bheag a'chul dualaich
Gu de dh'fhag an gruaim air t'aire
'G iomain a chruaidh-laoidh gu buaile

'G iomain a chruaidh-laoidh gu airidh
'S nach fhaic mi mo ghradh a dh'fhearaibh
- Morning Dew
Take me for a walk in the morning dew honey.
Take me for a walk in the morning dew today.
You can’t go walking in the morning dew, my love.
You can’t go walking in the morning dew today.
Listen, I hear someone moaning on.
I know I hear a man moaning on.
- Mystery Game
It's not for the money
The hope and despair
It's not for the leaving
Of love that was there
If it's for the danger
A fortune beware
Leaving it all back
To somewhere the same
- Na Buachailli Alainn
Mo bheannacht le na buachaillí a dimigh uain thar sáile,
Ach dfág siad culaith dheas orm le dhul amach de domhnaigh,
Cóta mór go talamh agus bheiste den tsíoda láidir,
Bríste bhí san fhaisean agus bróga de'n leathar spainneach.
Curfa
Oró na buachaillí, na buachaillí bhí álainn,
Oró na buachaillí, na buachaillí bhí álainn.
- Nil Se Ina la
Chuaigh me isteach I dteach areir
Is d’iarr me cairde ar mhnaoi an leanna.
Is e duirt si liom "ni bhfaighidh tu deor.
Buail an bothar is gabh abhaile."
Curfa:
Nil se ina la, nil a ghra,
- Now Is Here
With the sunlight through
Departed into darkness
I need someone too
A fantasy and you
Now is here
Here is now
Nah-na-na-nah-nah
- Of This Land
How gentle was the breeze
That Surrounded the way
How loud the sea's roar on the four
Winds everyday
Sharing love, wounded gifts from
Ancient long ago
- Poison Glen
The Poison Glen
Way up there in the poison glen
The sun's going down on the misty mountain
And I'm watching
And wondering
Feeling something from long ago
Haunted echo that surrounds the glen
- Scarlet Inside
Slowly, I look around
At every sight, for every sound
We stood with troubles deep
She is trampled on the ground
Feel the sadness inside
I'm scarlet inside
- Seanchas
An seanchas gearr, an seanchas is fearr
An scéal is giorra is milse I mbéal
An chnid is lú an chnid is fearr
Focal nó dhó má thaithníonn lig dó
- Second Nature
To a son it is given
Some dusty strings from the wall
Fingers touch and he plays a tune
It's a mighty air
You know the heart is there
It hides from the outside
And it shines from within
- Signs of Life
At length did cross an albatross
Through the fog it came
As if it had been a Christian soul
We hailed it in God's name
It ate the food it ne'er had eat
And 'round and 'round it flew
The ice did split with a thunder fit
- Sinil A Run
I wish I were on yonder hill
'Tis there I'd sit and I'd cry my fill,
And ev'ry tear would turn a mill,
And a blessing walk with you, my love
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan [or: And a blessing walk with you, my love. ]
His hair was black and his eyes were blue
His arms were strong and his words were true
- Sirius
A blind bargain can't you see
In a cloud of secrecy
Voices whispering for they might get heard
Play with fire
by insane
It's a danger game
cast aside
A guiding star leads the way
- Skellig
Like mighty ships that sail the Atlantic foam
The Skellig Isles parade the Kerry Coast
It's a strange place with the needle's eye
Where shipwrecks lie
Where the king of the world rested for a while
And a place for the pilgrim, a sanctuary of time
- Something To Believe In
Everybody's rushing around
Trying to keep a hold
On some piece of mine
All the time
And somebody's lookin' around
Tyin' to find
Something to believe in
- Stepping stone
Moving drift wood stopped and stared
It proved too much for me
I'm looking at an empty shell
The young girl waiting
She's waiting there
With a suit case in her hand
She won't look back on the land
- Strange Land
Try to tell a knight in gold
(Hard to tell your point of view)
He's to blame
A promise made, a dream of hope
(Know exactly what to do)
It's all the same
In this strange land
- Struggle
Traveling down a dirty road
Covered with moss
And see the gray stones
Green as luscious fields in sight
A dark moonlight night
When the past flashes by
Coming from the heavens like a falling star
That you wish upon
- Sunset Dreams
Covered in darkness a time that is past
Waiting adrift they cannot hold back
Cannot hold back
Tear misted eyes standing alone
A broken will over all that they?ve known
[Chorus:]
Out in the distance far is the calling
- The Bridge of Tears
The mist has cleared from Muckish Hill
Our parting coming nearer
The last embrace, the final touch
With nothing more to say
Nothing more to say
As silence fell around the bridge
Not a single word was spoken
- The Hunter
Hear a man with a wounded past
While walking on I overheard
He said he was right by being wrong
Hear a man with a wounded child
He lifted her and then she cried
He said he was right by being strong
He was right there all along
- The Other Side
When its gone and you want it so badly
A game of love is a two way street
And from above there comes inspiration
Darkest clouds will disappear
Take it down put it in your diary
- The Palm of a Tiny Hand
Tooku de tooku de yureteru inaho no umi
Ho wo age ho wo age mezashita omoide he to
Bokura ha kyou made no kanashii koto zenbu oboeteru ka, Wasureta ka
Chiisana te ni mo itsukara ka bokura oikoshiteku tsuyosa
Ureta budou no shita naiteta hi kara aruita
Chiisana te de mo hanarete mo bokura ha kono michi Yukunda
Itsuka kuru hi ha ichiban no omoide wo shimatte
- The Pretty Maid
It was on a fine summer's morning
The birds sweetly tune on each bough
And as I walked out for my pleasure
I saw a maid milking a cow
Her voice was so enchanting, melodious
Left me quite unable to go
My heart, it was loaded with sorrow
- There For You
Everything is foolhardy
And never is so good
Who will need an explanation
If all is understood?
[Chorus:]
This time has come again
It's all shining through
- Trail Of Tears
The sunrise above them
As they make their way
In the early morning light
No backward glance
Frightened of tomorrow
On a lonely road
Shrouded in misted rain
The vanquished race
- Turning Tide
Let me show you a face in disguise
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, oh, oh, yeah, yeah
The soul of a proud man drowns
- Two Sisters
There were two sisters side by side
Sing aye dum, sing aye day
There were two sisters side by side
The boys are born for me
There were two sisters side by side
The eldest for young johnny cried
I'll be true for my love
If he'll be true to me
- Voyager
Rothai an t'saoil ag casadh leo
Nil imeacht uaidh go deo
Daoine corr an t'saoil ag goid leo
Ni cuma leo go foill
(the wheels of the world keep on turning
It's inevitable
The corrupt people of this world keep on stealing
Yet, they don't care)
- World of Difference
There's a world of difference
Between our visions and our hearts
Sweeping clouds, stares the moon
When do we recognize?
Milling crowds talking proud
Oh we all so wise
In a world of difference
- You're The One
When the cold wind blows
And the rain keeps tumbling down
And there's no one there
When the morning light shines on
[Chorus:]
You're the one to lend a hand
You're the one who understands
You're the one to comfort me
