Lyrics

[Verse 1] Tenderly, I confessed, "I don't love you," Then waited with bated breath for his reply. Restlessly, I tormented him without cease, So cruelly jealous were the passions that burned inside. [Verse 2] Deceptively I fibbed, another waited for me, An evening rendezvous was our plan. Cruely I longed for his tears to fall, But he just chuckled, leaning in like a cavalier man. [Bridge 1 - receptive, stated intonation] And he said: "You adore me, my dear, don't you see? Your heart is mine, I feel it beating true." And I pushed him away, willfully, carelessly, As stunned disbelief filled his eyes' gentle hue. [Verse 3] Those two eyes, I see them now, accusingly, Crying without tears, just a mournful, silent plea. Wounded, paralyzed, he stood fleetingly, Then turned without a word, leaving just me. [Verse 4 - Uplifted, longing Hopeful] A withered autumn leaf fell wistfully, The chill breeze swept him away from me. Yet each evening I await hopefully, For my heart beats only for his, return to me. [Chorus 1 - Gaelic] Ann san oíche, mMmmm, mm mmm mm, mm mmm- Ag deireadh na hoíche, mo chroí, ag deireadh na hoíche mMmmm, mm mmm mm, mm mmm- .
