Bhi moran daoine uasal ann,
Bhi tuataniaigh na h-Alban ann,
Bhi 'n maistir scoile 'san ministir ann,
Bhi an laoch Mac Amhlaigh ann.

Donal, 'se Donal,
'Se Donal a rinne an bhainis,
Donal agus Morag a rinne an
bhainis ainmeil.

Bhi cearcan ann, is bhi geoidh ann,
Bhi corr is dosean sgairbh ann,
Seo bha iad is bhi car bi ann,
'Se cearc na n-ean a b'fhear dhuidh ann.

Donal, 'se Donal,
'Se Donal a rinne an bhainis,
Donal agus Morag a rinne an
bhainis ainmeil.

Bhi braidain 's bric on Eirne ann,
Is fluirse feoil na bhfia n-ean ann,
Feol mart is lao, ba bhlasta bhi,
Bhi uanfheol friochta is oisfheoil ann.

Donal, 'se Donal,
'Se Donal a rinne an bhainis,
Donal agus Morag a rinne an
bhainis ainmeil.

Bhi 'n di go fial 's fairsing ann,
Bhi brannda is fion na Spainne ann,
Bhi poitin stil is mead le mil,
Bhi beoir is leann na h-Eireann.

Donal, 'se Donal,
'Se Donal a rinne an bhainis,
Donal agus Morag a rinne an
bhainis ainmeil.

    Translation: The nobility was plentiful And ordinary folk from Scotland The school master and the minister With the warrior McAuley there

    It was Dónal, it was Dónal It was Dónal made the wedding It was Dónal and Mórag That made a famous wedding

    The meat of hens and geese there were With a dozen commorants and more Of all the foods on offer there The tender chicken they did prefer

    There were Erne trout and salmon there With meat of game and wildfowl Prime beef and veal made a tasty meal With roasts of lamb and venison

    The varied drinks were plentiful With Spanish wine and brandy Distilled poteen and honey-mead And ale and beer from Erin

    Just a couple corrections in the spelling:

    "Bhí tuatanaigh na hAlban ann"

    "Bhí beoir is leann na hÉireann ann"

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
