Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Thit sean-bháisteach aréir The old rain fell last night
'S tharraing mé braon ar bhog-braon And I drank it drop after easy-drop
Síos isteach i gclais doimhin Down inside the furrow deep
'S cailleadh mé i bhfolús ama And I was lost in the emptiness of time
   
'S chaith mé tréimhse ann And spent awhile there
I bhfolach i ndomhan-linn póite Hidden in a deep pool of excess
Ag sruthlú dall i linn drúise Bathing unseen in a pool of lust
Ag cuimilt craiceann mo bhrionglóidí féin Caressing the surface of my inner dreams
   
Sean-bháisteach... Old rain...
   
'S chonaic mé do aghaidh chiúin, shéimh And I saw your quiet peaceful face
A shoilsigh chugam bealach úr, seal Lighting my way to a new path, while
Shéan mé é mar a shéanaim riamh I denied it as I had denied before
'S tháinig deora chuig do shúil And tears came to your eyes
   
Sean-deora... Old tears...
   
'S seans amach anseo There is a chance
Go bhfeicfidh mé do shúil arís That I will see your eyes again
'S seans amach anseo And there is a chance
Go shoilseoidh tú arís That you will light my way again
   
Sean-deora... Old tears...
