Cr� cro' an ghr�(The heartbreak of love?)
N�l anois ach ceol na h-o'che(Nothing now but the music of the night)
T�im siora� i ngr�(I am forever in love)
Leann�in le sm�l(A lover with a fault)
Leann�in le sm�l(A lover with a fault)
Lig leis agus beidh leat(Allow it and you will have it)
Lig leis agus beidh gr�(Allow it and love will be)
Cuimhne leat an t-am(Do you remember the time)
Nuair a bh� t� s�sta(When you were happy?)
An cuimhne leat an t-am(Do you remember the time)
Nuair a bh� t� ag g�ire(When you were laughing?)
T� an saol iontach(Life is beautiful)
M� chreideann t� ann(If you believe in it)
Tug aghaidi ar an saol is sonas siora� (Turn your face towards life and)in�r measc(constant happiness is in our midst)
C�ard a tharla do na laethanta sin(What happened to those days?)
C�ard a tharla do na h-o'cheanta sin(What happened to those nights?)
An cuimhin leat an t-am(Do you remember the time)
Nuair a bh� t� faol bhr�n(When you were distraught?)
An cuimhin leat an t-am(Do you remember the time)
Go siora� sileadh na ndeor an ormsa n� orainne a bh� an locht(Forever crying tears? Was it me or us at fault?)
Ag moth' caiite s'ar f�n(Feeling used and lost)

T� gliondar sa saol(There is joyous wonder in life)
Cuardaim�s e(Let's seek it out)
The song "The Best Is Yet To Come" by Aoife Ni Fhearraigh is a beautiful ballad about the past, present, and future. The opening lyrics, "Do you remember love? The heartbreak of love? Nothing now but the music of the night. I am forever in love. A lover with a fault. Allow it and you will have it. Allow it and love will be" can be interpreted in various ways. It could be referring to the pain of past relationships, the beauty of remaining in love, or the importance of allowing oneself to love and be loved.
The next verse, "Do you remember the time when you were happy? When you were laughing? Life is beautiful. If you believe in it. Turn your face towards life and constant happiness is in our midst" encourages the listener to focus on the beauty of the present moment rather than dwelling on the past. The chorus repeats the question, "Do you remember the time when you were distraught?" and asks whether it was the singer or the relationship that was at fault.
The final verse, "Feeling used and lost. Why the fighting and crying of tears? There is beauty in life. If you seek it out. There is joyous wonder in life. Let's seek it out" suggests that despite the difficulties of the past, there is always the possibility of finding beauty and joy in life. Overall, the song is a hopeful reminder to focus on the present and look forward to the future.

Here's the lyrics in #Irish #Gaeilge
Níl anois ach ceol na h-oíche táim sioraí i ngrá
Leannáin le smál
Leannáin le smál
Lig leis agus beidh leat
Lig leis agus beidh grá
Culmhne leat an t-am
Nuair a bhí tú sásta
An culmhne leat an t-am
Nuair a bhí tú ag gáire
Tá an saol iontach
má chreideann tú ann
Tug aghaidi ar an saol is sonas sioraí inár measc
Céard a tharla do na laethanta sin
Céard a tharla do na h-oícheanta sin an culmhin leat an t-am
Nuair a bhí tú faol bhrón
An cuimhin leat an t-am
Go sioraí sileadh na ndeor
An ormsa nó orainne a bhí an locht
Ag mothú caiite s’ar fán
Cén fáth an t-achrann is sileadh na ndeor
Tá áilleacht sa saol
Má chuardaíonn tú e
Tá gliondar sa saol cuardaimís e

Snake: I don't have any family. No wait, there was a man who said he was my father...
Naomi: Where is he?
Snake: Dead. By my own hand.
Campbell : Big Boss.
Naomi: What!? Big Boss!? I had no idea.
Campbel: There was no way you could. It happened in Zanzibar 6 years ago. Only Snake and I know the real truth of what happened there.
Naomi: So, is it true? Was Big Boss really your father?
Snake: That's what he said. That's all I know.
Naomi: And you were able to kill him, knowing that?
Snake: Yup.
Naomi: How?
Snake: He wanted it. Besides, some people just need killing...

17 years ago, I wanted to give up on life. Playing video games really was an escape from my reality. I started playing MGS1 and I enjoyed it, and somehow thought that after finishing this, maybe I can quit living .
Then this song started playing, and Naomi's words drove it home.
"...The important thing is that you choose life, and then live."

+nightvisiongoggles1 I am really glad to have read your comment - choose life, and then live - happy holidays friend!!
