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:]
Nl s ina l, nl a ghr,
nl s ina l is n bheidh go maidin,
nl s ina l is n bheidh go fill,
solas ard at sa ghealaigh.
It's not day nor yet awhile
I can see the starlight shining
Nl s ina l is n bheidh go fill,
solas ard at 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
[Chorus]
Tell me that the night is long
Tell me that the moon is gleaming
Fill my glass, Ill sing a song
And we'll keep the music
streaming
Until all the songs are sung
[Chorus 2x]
[Drum Solo]
[Chorus 2x]
