nil se'n la (2016 version)

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!
