Solas an Lae

 

 

Solas an Lae


Solas athuair
chun na leapa im' dhiaidh
Smaoiníos siar céad bliain ó shin, níos mó
ar ár sinsir liath'

Is léir dom measaim gleanntán
Dath gorm ar na cná'
Saighdiúirí cróga nach n-éiríonn níos óige
ag cur do thuairisc' tá

Glaonn an t-am fadó orainn
ar thaobh Harmagadón
Gach éinne i gcomhrá gan éinne ag éisteacht
N'fheadair éinne an ród

An bhfuil costas mór na Saoirse
adhlactha sa chré
Slogfaidh an Ollmháthair thú
síos leat síos go réidh

Daylight 

 Daylight again
Following me to bed
I think about a hundred years ago
How my fathers bled

I think I see a valley
Covered with bones in blue
All the brave soldiers that cannot get older
Been asking after you

Hear the past a' calling
From Armageddon's side
When everyone's talking and no one is listening
How can we decide

Do we find the cost of freedom
Buried in the ground
Mother Earth will swallow you
Lay your body down


Crosby, Stills & Nash
