The reaction to We've Got The World (As Gaeilge) has been pretty crazy since it's release. Cathal from the Dermot and Dave show teamed up with Mickey Joe Harte to re-record his classic hit on it's 20th anniversary, in Irish!
The song was kindly translated by Mícheál Ó Foighil from Coláiste Lurgan.
Here are the lyrics for the tune:
| Verse 1] (English) She stands under moonlight She touches her hair Her smile lights emotions And her love fills the air |
(As Gaeilge)
‘Na seasa’ faoin ngeallach A’ lonnradh sa spéir Í caillte ‘na cuimhní Tá draíocht insan aeir |
(translation) She is standing under the moon It’s shinning in the sky She is lost in her memories There is magic in the air |
| [Pre - Chorus] And I know you're my every tomorrow And I know that you'll always be there |
Óir is tusa mo shearc, mo stoirín
‘s beidh me go brách le do thaobh
|
For you are my treasure, my darling
And I will forever be by your side |
| [Chorus] We've got the world tonight (Tonight) Let's hold on together And we've got a love that's right (That's right) So open your heart 'Cause we've got tonight |
Is linne an Domhain anocht Fág seo ,'s éalaigh Deir siad níl saoi gan locht Ach airíonn se ceart dhúinne anocht
|
The world is for us tonight Come on and escape They say that nothing is perfect But this feels right Tonight is for us |
| [Verse 2] We move even closer With hope in our eyes 'Cause love is the answer To the hurt and the lies |
Ár súil’ teacht le chéile Ár gcuisle mar aon ‘S tú croílár na féile Mo mhuirnin geal fhein
|
Our eyes come together Our heartbeat as one You are the soul of the festival My own bright sweetheart |
| [Pre - Chorus] And I know you're my every tomorrow And I know that you'll always be there |
Óir is tusa mo shearc mo stoirín
‘s beidh me go brách le do thaobh
|
|
| [Bridge] Ask me why (Ask me why) The sun and the moon go round Ask me why (Ask me why) My feet never touch the ground (Tell the truth) Tell the truth You take my breath away |
Ceard le haghaidh na realt ‘s an gheallach gan fáth
Ceard le haghaidh an taoile a tuill’s a trá
An fhírnne lom Is tú bun 's barr mo shaol |
What is is for – the stars and moon what is the reason?
What is it for - the tide ebbs and flows?
The truth of the matter You are the be all and end all of my life |
