I sent out this tune for that you know That I'm now free beyond the chains of time
I've left these earthly shores and following the call I've reached the elysian isles west of Erin
But I know some golden day we'll meet again my friend And dance upon the plains of Tir Na n'Òg
Known by many names it's Mag Mell, the Plain of Pleasures It's Tir Tairngiri and Tir Na Sorcha, Land of Light
No pain, no pain, no pain upon these shores Oh, timeless place beneath the wailing waves (Land of the young) No pain, no pain, no pain behind these crags Oh, placeless realm beyond our waning world (Land of the heart's desires)
And when it's time for you to set the sails You will hear this longing deep inside
Oh, land of gods and fairies where former mortals dwell And speak of glorious days past and to come
All eat the golden apples – Lugh of the silver spear The Daghda of the great and sacred cauldron
Mannanan Mac Lir of the waves and Angus Òg The god of poetry – the god of love
No pain, no pain, no pain upon these shores Oh, timeless place beneath the wailing waves (Land of the young) No pain, no pain, no pain behind these crags Oh, placeless realm beyond our waning world (Land of the heart's desires)
And all of you who are intense in your desires Are welcome here in Tir Na n'Òg
But mortals are a fickle crew just give them paradise All they're looking for is hunger, strife and death
