Heroes Song Lyrics

Heroes by Moya Brennan

Is mór an trua é truailliú na farraige
Is fearr liom mó sháigh fairsinge na gorta
Is fearr liom fhéin siocháin na cogadh
Is lig domh mo shaol a chonaí is a choinneáil slán
Is mór an trua é is mór an trua é
Is mór an trua é trualliú na farraige
(The pollution of the ocean is a pity
I prefer to have my fill than famine
I personally prefer peace to war
And let me live my life and stay safe
It’s a pity, it’s a pity
The pollution of the ocean is a pity)

(Repeat)

Look around and see the choice you’ve made
Turn around, see clouded spaces
Hear the cries of future darkness
Time is running out, our life to live

Why turn a blind eye?
Why can’t you hear us?
Too late, too late, la la la low
Too late to defend us
Why can’t you hear us?
Hear us, hear us

Seoithín seó mó chroí go deo
Ag teacht’s ag imeacht…
(Seoithín seó my heart forever
Coming and going…)

(Repeat 3x)

Seoithín seó mó chroí go deo
Fearg, scrios, crá…
(Seoithín seó my heart forever
Anger, destruction, torment…)

Is mór an trua é truailliú na farraige
Is fearr liom mó sháigh fairsinge na gorta
Is fearr liom fhéin siocháin na cogadh
Is lig domh mo shaol a chonaí is a choinneáil slán
(The pollution of the ocean is a pity
I prefer to have my fill than famine
I personally prefer peace to war
And let me live my life and stay safe)

Is mór an trua é truailliú na farraige
Is fearr liom mó sháigh fairsinge na gorta
Is fearr liom fhéin sioocháin na cogadh
Is lig domh mo shaol a chonaí is a choinneáil slán
Is mór an trua é is mór an trua é
Is mór an trua é trualliú na farraige
(The pollution of the ocean is a pity
I prefer to have my fill than famine
I personally prefer peace to war
And let me live my life and stay safe
It’s a pity, it’s a pity
The pollution of the ocean is a pity)

Look around and see the choice you’ve made
Turn around, see clouded spaces
Hear the cries of future darkness
Time is running out, our life to live
(Repeat 3x)
