Lyrics
Title: The Lament of Tír na nÓg
[Verse 1]
In the land of green where legends dwell,
There lies a tale that time can't quell,
Of Tír na nÓg, where sorrow's song,
Echoes through the ages, forever strong.
[Chorus]
Oh, Tír na nÓg, land of eternal youth,
Where love and loss intertwine, profound and uncouth,
In the misty moors, where the fairies dance and roam,
Whispers of the past linger, in every ancient stone.
[Verse 2]
In the heart of Erin, where dreams take flight,
Lies the story of two souls, bound by fate's might,
Oisín, the brave, and Niamh, with eyes of blue,
Their love defied time, but fate had its due.
[Chorus]
Oh, Tír na nÓg, land of eternal youth,
Where love and loss intertwine, profound and uncouth,
In the misty moors, where the fairies dance and roam,
Whispers of the past linger, in every ancient stone.
[Bridge]
Through forests deep and valleys wide,
Oisín rode with his beloved bride,
But time's cruel grasp, it took its toll,
As centuries passed, their tale grew old.
[Verse 3]
Now Oisín sleeps beneath the earth,
His heart still longing for his Niamh's worth,
While Niamh weeps in Tír na nÓg's embrace,
Her tears mingling with the fog's gentle grace.
[Chorus]
Oh, Tír na nÓg, land of eternal youth,
Where love and loss
[Verse 3]
Now Oisín sleeps beneath the earth,
His heart still longing for his Niamh's worth,
While Niamh weeps in Tír na nÓg's embrace,
Her tears mingling with the fog's gentle grace.
[Chorus]
Oh, Tír na nÓg, land of eternal youth,
Where love and loss intertwine, profound and uncouth,
In the misty moors, where the fairies dance and roam,
Whispers of the past linger, in every ancient stone.
[Outro]
So let us raise a glass to those who roam,
In Tír na nÓg, where the heart finds home,
May their story live on in ballads sung,
In the hearts of those who know, where dreams are young.
