Ag Smaoineamh os Ard
Ed Sheeran Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
’S nach leannan do shúil mar a bhíodh,
An mbeidh teacht ar do bheáilín ar bhlaiseadh mo ghrá,
An mbeidh d’aghaidh ag fogairt d’aoibh
A stórín beidh mé ag fanacht leat féin go seachtó naoi,
A Leana is tú an duine dom fiú ag fiche trí,
Tá mé ag rá leat go dtiteann daoin’ I ngrá gan aon chúis ná haoin bhrí,
Titim féin I ngrá leat arís ’s arís,
Tá rud at intinn agam ag rá,
Bí lion ann,
Féadfaidh tú mé a thógáil anocht,
Oh lui liomsa faoin solas ón oíche gheall,
Éist le buillí mo chroí ar m’ucht.
Ag smaoinimh ós ard,
A leana. Fuairmuid neamh anseo ar domhain.
Nuair atá mé níos sinne is ag briseadh go mann,
Dearmaid deanta ar m’ainm aríst,
Gan mo lamh in ann,
Don mhéid ceanna,
Ó is tú a bheidh,
Fós i mo chroí.
Beidh tú liomsa, is mise leatsa go deo mo chroí,
’S tú le feiceáil gach oiche I mo bhringlóidí,
Tá mé ag rá leat,
Go dtiteann daoin’ I ngrá gan aon chúis ná haoin bhrí,
B’fhéidir go Amba chuid é don phlean,
Mise agus tusa le cheile go deo,
Ag glacadh go mbeidh tuilleadh ar lean.
Bí liom ann,
Féadfaidh tú mé a thógáil anoch,
Oh lui liomsa faoin solas ón oíche gheall,
Éist le buillí mo chroí ar m’ucht.
Ag smaoineamh ós ard
A leana. Fuairmuid neamh anseo ar domhain. [x3]
The lyrics to Ed Sheeran's song "Ag Smaoineamh os Ard" are in Irish Gaelic and can be translated to English as follows:
When it is clear that your feet no longer stand tall
And your eyes no longer shine as they used to,
Will your little mouth taste the flavor of my love,
Will your face call out with a smile?
My darling, I will wait for you even until ninety-seven,
My Leana, you are the one for me even at twenty-three,
I'm telling you that people fall in love without any reason or sense,
Perhaps just a stroke of luck.
I fall in love with you again and again,
There's something on my mind that I say,
Be there,
You could take me tonight,
Oh let me come under the night's light,
Listen to the beats of my heart on my chest.
Thinking loudly,
My darling. We found heaven here on earth.
When I am more myself and breaking completely,
Forgetting my own name again,
Unable to use my hand,
For the same amount,
Because it will be you,
Still in my heart.
You will be with me, and I will be with you forever in my heart,
And you will be seen every night in my dreams,
I'm telling you,
That people fall in love without any reason or sense,
Maybe it's an Amber part of the plan,
You and I together forever,
Accepting that there will be more to come.
Be there with me,
You could take me tonight,
Oh let me come under the night's light,
Listen to the beats of my heart on my chest.
Thinking loudly.
My darling. We found heaven here on earth. [x3]
