lyrics

Chuas amach fud faid na tíre ag cuardú mo shámhín só,
D’ól mé go spailpeach, fuaras eolas déitheach
Chaith mé mo shaol fá dhó

Chuir mé uaim gach smaoineamh, beag nó mór
Gus ar aghaidh linn fós go beo go deo na ndeor

D’ólas deoch ón tobar naofa ach ní raibh ann ach H2O
Ghuí mé go dti go rabhas préachta bhíos fós dallta ag an gceo

Chuir mé uaim gach smaoineamh, beag nó mór
Gus ar aghaidh linn fós go beo go deo na ndeor


táimid inár ndúiseacht ná thitear orainn suain
dá olcas an tuairisc, ní ghéillfeam Lá an Luain
ná bíodh imní ort ná go bhfuil na rithimí so síoch
múnlaithe le blas agus muintearas uilíoch
gach aon pháiste gréine óg ag suainseán
cumha Sruth na Maoile á scaoileadh sa cheol ard
má sciobann an ghaoth aduaidh na mianta graosta
bíodh a fhios ag an Saol go bhfuil an oidhreacht aosta
is go gcífimid na sciatháin ag leathanú go fial

ag cuachadh na ngaolta bhí mar Oisín inár ndiaidh

seachas aon ní eile deirimid

a mhaoineach breá
tógaimis réidh é
go n-imeoidh an scáth


D’ithis éisc, nó dith iasc mé ní chuimhin liom ríomh faraor
Ach déiríos anuas ón aigéan ciúin mar tarbh in san aer

Chuir mé uaim gach smaoineamh beag nó mór
Gus ar aghaidh linn fós go beo go deo na ndeor

Chuir mé uaim gach smaoineamh beag nó mór
Gus ar aghaidh linn fós go beo go deo na ndeor
Pushing on Forever More translated from Irish


I went the length and breadth of Ireland searching for inner peace
I drank to excess, found godly knowledge
spent my life over twice

I cast aside
All thoughts grand and small
But Lets keep on pushing on forever more

I drank a drink from the holy well but it was nothin but H20
I perished and prayed for days and days but the fog still blinded my soul

So I cast aside
All thoughts grand and small
Lets keep on pushing on forever more

we be awake let no sleep engulf us
no matter how bad the report, we wont give in on the day of reckoning
do not be afraid, these rhythms do be peaceful
shaped with taste and universal kinship
every illegitimate child is gossiping...

the loneliness of the Straits of Moyle is released in high music

if a cold wind takes away the bad desires
let the World know that our heritage is ancient

and that we will once more see the wings spreading generously
beckoning our relatives who feel like Oisín in our absence
forget everything else we say
my darling one
lets just take it easy

until the shadow disperses...

I ate fish or a fish ate me my memory can’t recall
But I arose like a fighting bull from pacific ocean swells

Yes I cast aside
All thoughts grand and small
So Lets keep on pushing on forever more
