Lyrics: Celtic Women. Nil Se'n La.

:
Nil Se?n La
Chuaigh me isteach i dteach areir
is d'iarr me cairde ar mhnaoi an leanna.
Is e duirt si liom "Ni bhfaighidh tu deor.
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 fiddles 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 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 nor yet awhile
I can see the starlight shining
Nil se ina la is 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 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.

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 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.

(Drum Solo)

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
