| Lyrics : | English Translation : |
| Thit sean-bháisteach aréir | The old rain fell last night |
| 'S tharraing mé braon ar bhog-braon | And I drank it drop after easy-drop |
| Síos isteach i gclais doimhin | Down inside the furrow deep |
| 'S cailleadh mé i bhfolús ama | And I was lost in the emptiness of time |
| 'S chaith mé tréimhse ann | And spent awhile there |
| I bhfolach i ndomhan-linn póite | Hidden in a deep pool of excess |
| Ag sruthlú dall i linn drúise | Bathing unseen in a pool of lust |
| Ag cuimilt craiceann mo bhrionglóidí féin | Caressing the surface of my inner dreams |
| Sean-bháisteach... | Old rain... |
| 'S chonaic mé do aghaidh chiúin, shéimh | And I saw your quiet peaceful face |
| A shoilsigh chugam bealach úr, seal | Lighting my way to a new path, while |
| Shéan mé é mar a shéanaim riamh | I denied it as I had denied before |
| 'S tháinig deora chuig do shúil | And tears came to your eyes |
| Sean-deora... | Old tears... |
| 'S seans amach anseo | There is a chance |
| Go bhfeicfidh mé do shúil arís | That I will see your eyes again |
| 'S seans amach anseo | And there is a chance |
| Go shoilseoidh tú arís | That you will light my way again |
| Sean-deora... | Old tears... |
