Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Leis an t-struth bhor... Carried by the force of the current...
   
Like the cold wind blowing in the wintertime
The spring showers awaiting the sun to shine
While they wait in line for their time
Like the snow in winter waiting bright night
And darkness heralding the morning light
While they wait in line for their time
 
   
As the wild flowers awaken with one drop of life
Will ne'er bloom lest they receive that drop of life
While they wait in line for their time
Like the gold elms in autumn, they shed their leaves
When springtime befalls us they are retrieved
While they wait in line for their time
 
   
While time rushes by us with so much impatience
Time washes over us and yet another day is gone
The day is gone, to time that never will obey
 
   
Leis an t-struth bhor... Carried by the force of the current...
   
Since each year is with us now so briefly
We hardly know the seasons, the things that be
While we wait in line for our time
And as time waits for no man, from what I've seen
Time will wait for no man to fulfill his dream
While we wait in line for all time
 
   
While time rushes by us with so much impatience
Time washes over us and yet another day is gone
The day is gone, we live and we die
 
   
While time rushes by us with so much impatience
Time washes over us and yet another day is gone
The day is gone, to time that never will obey
 
   
Leis an t-struth bhor... Carried by the force of the current...
