Imeacht Thar Chlaí

Níl ach imeacht linn thar chlaí ann, is cuireadh chun gadaíochta
Rud nach linne a thógáil, an teas ionainn a stóráil,
Níl ach imeacht linn thar chlaí ann, babhta beag bradaíola,
Rud is gá dúinn a dhéanamh, nuair is fuar í an nead.

Cad is fiú an cur i gcéill, sé an t-uaigneas críoch an scéil
Maidir lenár ngrá, is eol dúinn, a stór
Aimseoimid é faoi rún, má thagann grá chugainn,
Is sin a bhfuil, mar ní scaoilfear linn, a stóirín, go deo.

Níl ach imeacht linn thar chlaí ann, is cuireadh chun gadaíochta
Rud nach linne a thógáil, an teas ionainn a stóráil,
Níl ach imeacht linn thar chlaí ann, babhta beag bradaíola,
Rud is gá dúinn a dhéanamh, nuair is fuar í an nead.

Níl ach imeacht linn thar chlaí ann, nuair is fuar í an nead.


It's a cheating situation, a stealing invitation
To take what's not really ours, to make it through the midnight hours
It's a cheating situation, just a cheap imitation
Doing what we have to do when there's no love at home

There's no use in pretending, there'll be a happy ending
Where our love's concerned, sweetheart, we both know
We'll take love where we find it, love and try to hide it 
It's all we got, for we know they're not gonna let us go

It's a cheating situation, a stealing invitation
To take what's not really ours, to make it through the midnight hours
It's a cheating situation, just a cheap imitation
Doing what we have to do when there's no love at home

It's a cheating situation when there's no love at home
