Gearrthóg Físe
Lyrics
I sit in the salt water, call in a vision of my daughter
– Suím san uisce salann, glaoim ar fhís de m ‘ iníon
Light a candle, place my grief upon the altar
– Solas coinneal, cuir mo bhrón ar an altóir
Bird in my hands, a flower, a song
– Éan i mo lámha, bláth, amhrán
I used to think I knew what sadness was
– Ba ghnách liom smaoineamh go raibh a fhios agam cén brón a bhí ann
I was wrong
– Bhí mé mícheart
A piece of flesh, a million pounds
– Píosa feola, milliún punt
Am I a woman now?
– An bean mé anois?
A crescent moon, an apple sliced
– Gealach crescent, úll slisnithe
Thick in the sky
– Tiubh sa spéir
The air smells of fruit and smoke
– Boladh an t-aer torthaí agus deataigh
The season is ripe
– Tá an séasúr níos aibí
I stay in the house, move the furniture about
– Fanann mé sa teach, bog an troscán faoi
Try and control what I can
– Déan iarracht an méid is féidir liom a rialú
And feel the world slip through my hand
– Agus mothaigh an domhan ag sleamhnú trí mo lámh
You can have it all
– Is féidir leat é go léir
You can have it all
– Is féidir leat é go léir
Dug a hole in the garden and buried a scream
– Dug poll sa ghairdín agus chuir sé scread
And from it grew a bright red tree
– Agus uaidh sin d ‘ fhás crann geal dearg
Shining with jagged leaves
– Ag taitneamh le duilleoga garbh
And when the wind blows, you can hear it
– Agus nuair a shéideann an ghaoth, is féidir leat é a chloisteáil
Dug a hole in the garden and buried a scream
– Dug poll sa ghairdín agus chuir sé scread
And from it grew a bright red tree
– Agus uaidh sin d ‘ fhás crann geal dearg
Shining with jagged leaves
– Ag taitneamh le duilleoga garbh
And when the wind blows, you can hear it
– Agus nuair a shéideann an ghaoth, is féidir leat é a chloisteáil
You can have it all
– Is féidir leat é go léir
You can have it all
– Is féidir leat é go léir
(You can have it all)
– (Is féidir leat gach rud a fháil)
A piece of flesh, a million pounds
– Píosa feola, milliún punt
Am I a woman now?
– An bean mé anois?
(You can have it all)
– (Is féidir leat gach rud a fháil)
Tree grows tall, can’t cut me down
– Fásann crann ard, ní féidir liom mé a ghearradh síos
Am I a woman now?
– An bean mé anois?
