nil se'n la (2016 version)
Singer: celtic woman
nil se ina la
nil a ghra
nil se ina la is ni bheidh go maidin
nil se ina la is ni bheidh go foill
solas ard ata sa ghealaigh
walking home one stormy night
with my pockets full silver
i did spy a friendly light
and decided i would enter
well the woman of the house
made to serve
she wasn't willing
but she quickly changed her tune
when she saw my silver shilling
nil se ina la
nil a ghra
nil se ina la is ni bheidh go maidin
nil se ina la is ni bheidh go foill
solas ard ata sa ghealaigh
you are welcome
be our guest
fill your cup to overflowing
come right in and take a rest
sure
where else would you be going
piper play
the night is young
for the guest we're entertaining
let us lead the soul in song
and enjoy the time remaining
it's not day
stay a while
see the stars
the sky adorning
bright the moon that's in the sky
while away the hours 'til morning
nil se ina la
nil a ghra
nil se ina la is ni bheidh go maidin
nil se ina la is ni bheidh go foill
solas ard ata sa ghealaigh
it's not day
stay a while
see the stars
the sky adorning
bright the moon that's in the sky
while away the hours 'til morning
oh how soon the hours passed
and i didn't heed the warning
as they filled the parting glass
with the sun already dawning
nil se ina la
nil a ghra
nil se ina la is ni bheidh go maidin
nil se ina la is ni bheidh go foill
solas ard ata sa ghealaigh
it's not day
stay a while
see the stars
the sky adorning
bright the moon that's in the sky
while away the hours 'til morning
what a fool i was to stay
and now i'm in trouble plenty
for the landlord wants his pay
and my pockets
they are empty
nil se ina la
nil a ghra
nil se ina la is ni bheidh go maidin
nil se ina la is ni bheidh go foill
solas ard ata sa ghealaigh
nil se ina la
nil a ghra
nil se ina la is ni bheidh go maidin
nil se ina la is ni bheidh go foill
solas ard ata sa ghealaigh
nil se ina la
nil a ghra
nil se ina la is ni bheidh go maidin
nil se ina la is ni bheidh go foill
solas ard ata sa ghealaigh
nil se ina la
nil a ghra
nil se ina la is ni bheidh go maidin
nil se ina la is ni bheidh go foill
solas. ard. ata. sa ghealaigh!
