Saltwater Lyrics

Oscail mo shúile
Nìos mò
'r Èist è seis
Ar an tsáile snámha

Fol lol the doh fol the day
Fol lol the doh fol the day
Fol lol the doh fol the day
Fol lol the doh fol the day

Open my eyes
Saltwater rain
Oscail mo shúile

'n gabh ar
Tar isteach
'n gabh ar
Tar isteach
'n gabh ar
A ghlan thu
'n gabh ar
Tar isteach

Anam bri
Nasiun tuathe sinn/na sionta sinn

Fol lol the doh fol the day
Fol lol the doh fol the day
Fol lol the doh fol the day
Fol lol the doh fol the day

Open my eyes
Saltwater rain
Oscail mo shùile
No more inside
Saltwater rain
Oscail mo shùile

<b>English translation</b>

Open my eyes

Listen to the melody
Swimming in Saltwater

Fol lol the doh fol the day
Fol lol the doh fol the day
Fol lol the doh fol the day

Open my eyes
Saltwater rain
Open my eyes

Go on
Come in

Cleanse yourself

Our lifeforce
Our people's nation/our wild stormy nights

Fol lol the doh fol the day
Fol lol the doh fol the day
Fol lol the doh fol the day
Fol lol the doh fol the day

Open my eyes
Saltwater rain
Open my eyes
No more inside
Saltwater rain
Open my eyes

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Well, first off this is an excellent trance techno song. I love it! The meaning I get from it has to do with cleansing yourself by facing all problems in your life. When we go through such a crisis, or a dark night of the soul, it can provoke a lot of emotional distress. Tears are saltwater, and throughout the song it hints at saltwater as being revealing ("Open my eyes") and relieving the inner cries ("No more inside/ Saltwater rain"). So yes, cleansing yourself.
