"Nil Se'n La" lyrics - CELTIC WOMAN

CELTIC WOMAN
"Nil Se'n La"
(Caitriona Ni Dhubhghaill / Barry McCrea / Traditional)

Chuaigh me 'steach I dteach areir
Is d'iarr me cart ar bhean a' leanna
'Si duirt si liom, ni bhfaighidh tu deoir
Buail an bothar is gabh abhaile

I came by a house last night
And told the woman I am staying
I said to her, "the moon is bright
And my fiddle's tuned for playing"

Tell me that the night is long
Tell me that the moon is glowing
Fill my glass, I'll sing a song
And will start the music flowing

Never mind the rising light
There's no sign of day or dawning
In my heart it's still the night
And we'll stay here till the morning

[Chorus:]
Nil se'n la, nil a ghra
Nil se'n la, na baol ar maidin
Nil se'n la 's ni bheidh go foill
Solas ard ata sa ghealaigh

It's not day nor yet a while
I can see the starlight shining
Nil se'n la 's ni bheidh go foill
Solas ard ata sa ghealaigh

Fill the glasses one more time
And never heed the empty bottle
Turn the water into wine
And turn the party up full throttle

Don't go out into the cold
Where the wind and rain are blowing
For the fire is flaming gold
And in here the music's flowing

Nil se'n la, nil a ghra
Nil se'n la, na baol ar maidin
Nil se'n la 's ni bheidh go foill
Solas ard ata sa ghealaigh

Tell me that the night is long
Tell me that the moon is gleaming
Fill my glass, I'll sing a song
And we'll keep the music streaming
Until all the songs are sung.

Nil se'n la, nil a ghra
Nil se'n la, na baol ar maidin
Nil se'n la 's ni bheidh go foill
Solas ard ata sa ghealaigh

Nil se'n la, nil a ghra
Nil se'n la, na baol ar maidin
Nil se'n la 's ni bheidh go foill
Solas ard ata sa ghealaigh

Nil se'n la, nil a ghra
Nil se'n la, na baol ar maidin
Nil se'n la 's ni bheidh go foill
Solas ard ata sa ghealaigh

Nil se'n la, nil a ghra
Nil se'n la, na baol ar maidin
Nil se'n la 's ni bheidh go foill
Solas ard ata sa
Ard ata sa
Ard ata sa
Ard ata sa ghealaigh.
