Oíche Chiúin
Traditional Lyrics

Oíche chiúin, oíche Mhic Dé,
Cách 'na suan dís araon.
Dís is dílse 'faire le spéis
Naíon beag, leanbh ceansa 'gus caomh.

Críost, 'na chodladh go sámh.
Críost, 'na chodladh go sámh.

Oíche chiúin, oíche Mhic Dé,
Aoirí ar dtús chuala 'n scéal.
Allelúia aingeal ag glaoch.
Cantain suairc i ngar is i gcéin.

Críost an Slánaitheoir Féin.
Críost an Slánaitheoir Féin.

Oíche chiúin, oíche Mhic Dé,
Cách 'na suan dís araon.
Dís is dílse 'faire le spéis
Naíon beag, leanbh ceansa 'gus caomh.

Críost, 'na chodladh go sámh.
Críost, 'na chodladh go sámh.

'S Fagaim mo Bhaile

Maidin is tús an lae
Is fágaim mo bhaile
Tá mo chroíse go brón
Is fad ar shiúl m'óige

Oíche is mé liom féin
Spéartha dubh go domhain, a choích
Ag cuimhneamh ar laethanta a bhí
Gan ghá agus gan ghruaim
Eistim leis an ghaoth
Uaigneas mór, go deo, a choích

Deireadh an turas mór
Táim brónach, buartha 's briste
I mo dhiaidh nach mbeidh níos mó
Ach, tá sé i ndán dúinn, a pháistí
Tá sé i ndán dúinn, a pháistí

Is fada anois an lá
A d'fhág mé mo bhaile
Níl áthas i mo chroí
Níl ann ach an marbh
Níl ann ach an marbh

I May Not Awaken

When the warmth of the day becomes the night
Who could sleep beneath a strange moonlight?
No guiding star
So far from home

Walked the way o' promise to find but snow
Throughout, the voice of the winds brings nothing more
Than low echoes
So far from home

Even from a child
A wish is not enough
For me, for me the sky may fall
And even from a child
A dream is not enough
Could be, could be the sky may fall
Could be, could be the night ends all

No rains could weep as I have wept
To know a simple dream will not be kept
I am a child
So far from home

One by one the sky falls
I may not awaken

Only If You Want To

When there's a shadow, you reach for the sun.
When there is love, then you look for the one.
And for the promises, there is the sky.
And for the heavens are those who can fly.

If you really want to, you can hear me say.
Only if you want to will you find the way.
If you really want to you can seize the day.
Only if you want to will you fly away.

Da-da-da-da,
da-da-da-da-da,
da-da-da-da,
da-da-da-da-da,
da-da-da-da.

When there's a journey, you follow a star.
When there's an ocean, you sail from afar.
And for the broken heart, there is the sky.
And for tomorrow are those who can fly.

If you really want to, you can hear me say.
Only if you want to will you find the way.
If you really want to you can seize the day.
Only if you want to will you fly away.

Da-da-da-da,
da-da-da-da-da,
da-da-da-da,
da-da-da-da-da,
da-da-da-da.

Ooh go doe bay mwa.
Ooh go doe bay mwa.

If you really want to, you can hear me say.
Only if you want to will you find the way.
If you really want to you can seize the day.
Only if you want to will you fly away.

Ooh go doe bay mwa.
Ooh go doe bay mwa.

If you really want to, you can hear me say.
Only if you want to will you find the way.
If you really want to you can seize the day.
Only if you want to will you fly away.

If you really want to...
Only if you want to...

Song of the Sandman

Can you hear the night's deep song?
All the shadows say
Telling you when you're asleep,
Tears will fade away

Dream of morning's golden light
When you and I will leave the night

And when the moon is high and bright,
Stars will shine on you

Dream of morning's golden light
When you and I will leave the night

Make a wish and when you close your eyes
I will come to you

Dream of morning's golden light
When you and I will leave the night

Make a wish and when you close your eyes
I will come to you

The Frog Prince

Deep in my dreams,
I saw you close by my side.
And the words you said to me,
made me reel down deep inside.

My hand in your hand,
so warm and so lovingly.
Leaving all my dreams behind,
wonder who my prince will be?

What is this wonder,
that love can make you feel?
Am I deep now in slumber,
or is my prince real?

Now, now my dream,
is standing close by my side.
Saying words I wish to hear,
and I'm reeling deep inside.

What is this wonder,
that love can make you feel?
Am I deep now in slumber,
or is my prince real?
 

Morning has come,
my dreams are left far behind.
As I walk through Paris streets,
I know now what I shall find.

This smile on my face,
will carry a love I have known.
Like a fairytale come true,
oh, what joy this love has shown

Dreams
Lyrics by C. McGettigan

You're everything my dreams have seen.
But, what are dreams?
I'm walking where my dreams have been.
But, what are dreams?

Can I believe these spells I feel?
I'm wary now.
Can I believe, or is this real?
I'm wary now.

Just like some new-born creature, I.
What are dreams?
A child in need of love and care.
Tell me what, tell me what, are dreams?

Can I believe these spells I feel?
I'm wary now.
Can I believe, or is this real?
I'm wary now.

Just like some new-born creature, I.
What are dreams?
A child in need of love and care.
Tell me what, tell me what, are dreams?

May It Be

May it be an evening star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh! How far you are from home

Mornië utúlië
Believe and you will find your way
Mornië alantië
A promise lives within you now

May it be the shadow's call
Will fly away
May it be your journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun

Mornië utúlië
Believe and you will find your way

Mornië alantië
A promise lives within you now

A promise lives within you now
