Verse2 Meabhraigh mé comhrá sa stasúin fadó (long ago) Thóg tú dán dom - do croí ar phíosa phaipéar... ach bhi sé ladránach. Verse3 Ní thigim aon rud faoin gnóthaí an croí (understand) Tá tú ró bhrón - Da sheinfá leis na Míhéalí! Ach bhí aspa cumarsáid.
Bridge Drumadoir, gaiste í bringliodí, gaiste in ngrá! Tá gach rud ina ceann! Suí anois, agus bhí cuin anois, agus mo chara, Cloiseann leis mo sceal!
Refrain An fear an bhfile dia! Dia an bhfile is fearr! An fear an bhfile dia! Dia an bhfile is fearr!

Insane Tim
Verse: Srollin through the mountains Bracken at our feet ‘Till we see before us, A man called Timothy Long hair, shredded jeans, Avaitors gleam.
Verse: We gingerly approach him, instruments in hand, Timmy started jammin’ echoed through the land Heard for miles and miles, Michaels played in perfect time
Middle: His hands they moved in motion, yeah they moved…in motion Motion like the wings of a humming bird His eyes they flickered like a flaming moth gone insane, The kicking of his legs, resembling an ostrich gone insane.
Michaels at maximum X a lot |
