Teksty: Gilbert O'Sullivan. Singer Sowing Machine. Say Ireland.

When words fail you
Don't say why
Say Ireland
Say Ireland
And I'll tell you why

When bombs dismay you
Don't just cry
Cry Ireland
Cry Ireland
Cry Ireland
Cry Ireland
And I'll tell you why
[How much time have you got?]

Where are my Irish roots
Where did I get those boots
Why do I not like suits and ties
And why so shy in front of people
It's on top of a steeple that I belong

Far from the maddening crowd
As far as I am allowed
Far from the maddening crowd
As far as I am allowed
Far from the maddening crowd
As far as I am allowed
And the crack was in the ceiling

Say Ireland...(Ireland)...Say..(Ireland)
When words fail you
Don't say why
Say Ireland say Ireland
