With massive help from Bríd, I've got the lyrics to this second cover song by Maitiú Ó Domhnaill (which are still not posted on the TG Lurgan site), and have made my own translation. As is often the case with a cover in another language, the words are not exactly the same as in the original (by Florida Georgia Line), but the basic spirit of the song is maintained in this Irish version.
Comments (especially on the translation) are welcome.
Tusa i mo shaol, tusa í mo chroí,
go deo na ndeor, ag siúl
É scríofa ar an mballa, bhíonn ghrian breá ag scalladh,
thit muid i ngrá is muid ar an gainneamh.
Dúirt me liom fhéin nach orm atá an t-ádh,
cailín álainn dathúil ar an trá.
Curfá:
Tusa i mo shaol, tusa í mo chroí,
go deo na ndeor, ag siúl,
síos bóthar fad an tsaoil le chéile.
Fan liom mo bhabe go deo.
Lámh ar lámh ó tá muid saor,
an grá atá againn átá sé fíor.
Tusa i mo shaol, tusa í mo chroí,
go deo na ndeor, ag siúl.
Bhí an ghrian ag lasadh is í ag casadh,
taobh le taobh is muid ag damhsa.
Léim sí go hard isteach i mo charr is dúirt:
“Coinnigh ort, ó tá'n luas seo thar barr!”
Curfá [2x]
Bhí an gealach lán i lár na hoíche,
is tháinig tú is thóg tú mo chroí,
agus i ngrá ar feadh ár saoil,
le chéile go deo déanann sé ciall,
ó le chéile go deo déanann sé ciall.
Seod é an lá is sin é an chaoi,
ná himigh go deo, banríon mo chroí.
Tóg mo lámh mar a thóg tú mo chroíse,
mise ‘s tusa le chéile go brách.
Curfá [2x]
… go deo na ndeor, ag siúl, ó sea
Translation:
You're in my life, you're in my heart,
for ever and ever, cruising.
[With] it written on the wall, the bright sun burning,
we fell in love while on the sand.
I said to myself ain’t I lucky,
a beautiful, pretty girl at the beach.
Chorus:
You're in my life, you're in my heart,
for ever and ever, cruising.
down the road throughout life together.
Stay with me, babe, forever.
Hand in hand, oh we’re free,
the love we have is proud.
You're in my life, you're in my heart,
for ever and ever, cruising.
The sun was shining while she was spinning,
side by side, we were dancing.
She jumped way up into my car and said:
“Keep on going, oh, this speed is great!”
Chorus [2x]
The moon was full in the middle of the night,
and you came and took my heart,
and in love for the rest of our lives,
together forever, it makes sense,
oh, together forever, it makes sense.
This is the day and this is the way,
don’t ever leave, queen of my heart,
Take my hand like you took my heart,
you and me together forever.
Chorus [2x]
… forever and ever, cruising, oh yeah.
