[Verse 1] When she reigns in her fullest light And the turning hour draws near To let the golden crown slip from her hands Her children gather in the fading sky Woven in amber, amethyst, and twilight blue [Chorus] An ghrian ag dul faoi, an oíche ag teacht (The sun is setting, the night is coming) Is clann na dathanna ag damhsa sa speir (And the children of colors dancing in the sky) (An ghrian ag dul faoi, an oíche ag teacht) (The sun is setting, the night is coming) [Verse 2] The heavy velvet of the dark descends And the human soul begins to drift To places uncharted, wild and deep Lost in dreams, so far from here [Bridge] But as the morning whispers her name Her children gather once again Spinning threads of orange, violet, and sky Weaving the golden sphere back to the high horizon [Chorus] An ghrian ag dul faoi, an oíche ag teacht (The sun is setting, the night is coming) Is clann na dathanna ag damhsa sa speir (And the children of colors dancing in the sky) (An ghrian ag dul faoi, an oíche ag teacht) (The sun is setting, the night is coming) [Verse 4] She rises once more in all her grace To ripen and warm the waiting earth Until her moment comes to give it all away And her children rise again to paint the end of day [Outro] And her children rise again to paint the end of day
