[00:09.40]If you ever go across the sea to Ireland,
[00:18.54]Then maybe at the closing of your day,
[00:26.80]You will sit and watch the moon rise over Claddagh
[00:35.90]And see the sun go down on Galway Bay.
[00:44.10]Just to hear again the ripple of the trout stream,
[00:53.58]The women in the meadows making hay
[01:01.52]And to sit beside a turf fire in a cabin
[01:10.70]And watch the barefoot gosoons at their play.
[01:27.69]For the strangers came
[01:30.71]And tried to teach us their ways,
[01:37.06]And scorned us just for being what we are
[01:45.17]But they might as well be chasing after moonbeams
[01:54.54]Or light a penny candle from a star
[02:02.76]And if there's going to be a life hereafter,
[02:11.97]And somehow I am sure there's going to be,
[02:20.14]I will ask my God to let me make my heaven
[02:29.23]In that dear land across the Irish Sea.
