Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Seol mo sheol Sail my sail
Ceol mo cheol Sing my song
Sín amach mo anam arís Stretch my soul again
   
Só leigheas mé las mé Heal me, alright me
Can mé nó cas mé Sing me or turn me
Snas mo phaidir arís Polish my prayer again
Scaoil mé saor mé Set me, free me
Caith suas san aer mé Throw me up above me
'S fillfidh mé ar ais ar mo chroí I'll return back into my heart
Mar is dual dom As it suits me
   
Do chuaigh mé bhuaigh mé I worked, I won
D'obair mé go cruaidh mé I worked me hard
D'oscail mé doras mo chroí I opened the door of my heart
Níor bhuaigh mé buíonn ná maoin No riches, no medals
Ach do sheas mé faoin ghrian But I stood under the sun
Mé sona dul ag cuma faoi arís And I'm happy to compose
Mar is mian liom My way around again
   
Curfá: Chorus:
Mama táim ag baint Mammy, I'm having
An taitneamh as an saol A good time in my life
Dada táim ag déanamh Daddy, I'm doing
Mo dhícheall ar an saol The best that I can
Mama táim ag baint Mammy, I'm having
An taitneamh as an saol The time of my life
Faoi dheireadh ag baint Finally having
Taitneamh as an saol A good time in my life
Dada táim ag déanamh Daddy, I'm doing
Mo dhícheall ar an saol The best that I can
Mama táim ag baint Mammy, I'm having
An taitneamh as an saol The time of my life
   
Seol mo sheol Sail my sail
Ceol mo cheol Sing my song
Sín amach mo anam arís Stretch my soul again
   
Do bhí mé thuas seal thíos seal I was up a spell, down a spell
Thall seal, thiar seal To a spell for a spell
Seal ag dul amach as mo shlí And a spell spent going out of my way
Do bhí mé thuaidh seal theas seal North a spell, south a spell
Do tháinig mé thar ais seal I came back for a spell
'S beidh seal agam amach anseo arís And I'll have another spell up ahead as I please
Mar is mian liom As it suits me
   
Is cuma faoi dainséar nó doichill Danger doesn't matter, nor depression
Nó dualgas nó dochair Nor responsibilities, not damage
Díreach anois Just now
Tá an breis le braith I can feel the flood,
Níos mó ar an slí More on the way
Tá an taoide ag líonadh ionam anocht arís Within again tonight as it does
Mar is __ As __
   
(Curfá) (Chorus)
   
Mé fós i mo sheasamh I'm still standing
Mé fós i mo shuí I'm still sitting
Fós ag deanamh damhsa mo bhrionglóidí I'm still dancing out my dreams
Ag díriú ar mo bhrionglóidí Keeping an eye on my dreams
'S brionglóidí Dé God's dreams
Brionglóidí Dia Dia God's God's dreams
Brionglóidí Dia Déithe Dé God's God's God's dreams
   
(Curfá...) (Chorus...)
